Carlisle Cultural Council

Details

The Carlisle Cultural Council (CCC) supports and celebrates the creative life of our community. Appointed by the Carlisle Select Board, we fund and produce cultural and arts activities that enrich life in Carlisle.

Through the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Local Cultural Council Program—the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation—we provide grants to Carlisle organizations and individuals, helping bring music, art, history, literature, science, performance, and more to our town.

We support arts & culture in Carlisle by:
Distributing MCC-funded cultural grants to worthy cultural programs
Raising funds to allow us to fund additional cultural grants
Supporting local groups and town departments that produce cultural programming
Producing signature events like the Carlisle Music Festival and Carlisle Open Studios
Advocating for cultural resources, public arts spaces, and community access
