Welcome to the Taunton Cultural Council !
The Taunton Cultural Council (TCC) was established to promote the arts and
help develop cultural programs throughout the Taunton community. We are a
council of volunteers who administers Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC)
grant funds and one of 329 local councils that serve all 351 Massachusetts
cities and towns.
We accomplish these goals by:
- Reviewing Grant Applications from individuals, schools, and arts
organizations and awarding MCC grant funds to projects that provide a local
public benefit.
- Establishing Funding Priorities that aim to reach an underserved
population, local artists, the broadest spectrum of our community and new
applicants or projects - especially those that are experimental, pilot or
innovative in nature - that are underrepresented in our community.
The members of the TCC are: Carol Traverse & Lois MacDonald, Co-Chairs; Mary Botelho, Treasurer; Nancy &
Kevin Downing, Co-Secretaries, Mary Ann Botelho, Grant Coordinator; Carolyn
Straub, Publicity Director; Donna Jardim, Membership Director; Gene Alger,
Bligh MacDonald, Susan Winter-Clark, Janet Foley, Hazel
Mack, and Roberta Shafer.
