2023 Local Guidelines
The Salisbury Cultural Council (SCC) prefers proposals which impact the arts and culture in Salisbury in a manner which benefits the community at large. They strongly support projects which provide Salisbury seniors, families and children access to opportunities they would not have without their funding. In addition, the SCC is actively involved in promoting projects that foster and preserve Salisbury’s history and culture, as well as public art in community. They prefer to fund projects with wide appeal that serve large groups, which are accessible to diverse groups of citizens, and are free.
