2023 Local Priorities
- The local Tewksbury council will review the applications in a public meeting in Tewksbury, with the date to be posted on the town website. They encourage applicants to attend.
- They review applications with a priority toward benefit for their local community. Therefore, if you are an applicant from outside their local community, your application will carry substantially more preference if you arrange approval and agreement of a venue with one of their local host organizations in advance, and include a letter from the local host.
- They also encourage new cultural programming, and give priority to new grant requests over annual applications looking for continued or sustained funding.
