GRANT MONEY AVAILABLE FOR DOVER CULTURAL ARTS
The Dover Cultural Council is accepting applications for the FY 2013 round of grant awards. An arm of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the DCC provides financial support to a wide variety of local artists and organizations with qualified projects. Money will be awarded for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs.
