Medway Cultural Council is one of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all the Commonwealth. Annual funding is appropriated by the state legislature to the Mass Cultural Council which then allocated funds to each LCC to support community-based projects in the arts, sciences, and humanities. 

“The mission of the Medway Cultural Council is to support and cultivate the arts of Medway and to accomplish this we offer grant funding, program development, and educational opportunities. Our goal is to provide our community with a wide range of cultural experiences including art, musical performance as well as traditions from around the world. We support and encourage local artists in a shared sense of community through cultural appreciation.”

MCC welcomes ideas, recommendations and feedback for future programming. Medway residents are invited to attend meetings which are held every 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 7pm at the Medway Library.
