The Medford Arts Council is a city-appointed agency of volunteers working to promote excellence, access, education, and diversity in the arts and humanities in order to improve the quality of life for all Medford citizens and foster a sense of community.
We offer grants to artists and organizations in Medford, and we work to support the growth of the arts and the arts community in Medford. Each year we provide funds to support numerous public activities in Medford in the areas of arts and culture, including concerts, festivals, performances, classes, and school field trips. The funds we distribute are an annual allocation from the Massachusetts Cultural Council through their Local Cultural Council (LCC) program.
We are currently collecting community input from Medford residents through a survey. You can download the printable pdf or you can complete the survey on-line. You can mail the survey back to us at Medford Arts Council, P.O. Box 615, Medford, MA 02155. You can also drop off your survey in our survey collection box in the lobby of the Medford Public Library or at Danish Pastry House.
