Statement of Purpose
As Approved and Adopted, August 2022


The Attleboro Cultural Council (ACC) is a grass-roots organization, funded by the Massachusetts
Cultural Council, to promote culture in the City of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Working through
the arts, humanities, and sciences, culture is a dynamic force for enriching communities,
growing the economy, fostering diversity and inclusion, and igniting creativity.

 

The ACC oversees the distribution of Massachusetts Cultural Council grant funds to support
programs that promote and maintain the vitality of local cultural resources, and ensures that
these resources are shared within the diverse Attleboro community. The ACC is composed of a
group of local volunteers, who are appointed by the mayor, and approved by the City Council,
to help support and promote activities and the arts in Attleboro.

 

ACC members annually review applications from individuals, schools, and organizations to fund
programs such as concerts, performances, lectures, workshops, art experiences and community
celebration/festivals.
ACC goals include:

  • Creating an environment for a vibrant and sustainable arts and culture ecosystem.

  • Cultivating a city where all cultural traditions and expressions are respected, promoted,

and supported.

  • Integrating arts and culture into all aspects of civic life.

  • Mobilizing likely and unlikely partners, and collaborating across institutions and sectors.
