Welcome!
Our mission is to support artists and
arts-related organizations in Brookline. We encourage them to apply for
grants, which are intended to enlarge their audiences and to make the
arts available to community members of all ages. Each year we review
applications and distribute funds from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council. The guidelines and applications can be found on our web site.
This year, grants were awarded for projects and events that included
poetry, theater, video, and sculpture.
Because funding for the arts has been drastically cut, we have joined
with the Brookline Community Fund in a new initiative called the
Brookline Fund for Arts and Culture. We can all contribute in keeping
an interest in the arts alive in our town.
The members of the Commission are all volunteers appointed by the Town
Selectmen for terms of three years. All of our meetings are open to the
public. We invite you to attend.
