The Lincoln Cultural Council wants to hear from you
The Lincoln Cultural Council (LCC) manages grants supporting arts and culture in and around Lincoln. Members take the opinions and priorities of the residents of Lincoln into consideration when deciding on the grants to be awarded each year. To help inform priorities, they conduct a survey of town residents every three years. These priorities are then listed on the Lincoln section of the Mass Cultural Council’s website for prospective applicants to respond to. Please answer the questions in this very short survey by August 29 to help the Lincoln Cultural Council determine the arts and cultural priorities of Lincoln residents.
