- Field trip applications are NOT considered.
- All grant recipients are required to acknowledge support from the Lakeville Arts Council in publicity and verbally prior to the start of a program and to appropriately display the Lakeville Arts Council logo and the MCC logo during all publicity. This may require providing the Lakeville venue the information needed to properly display this acknowledgement in print…which you will get from the Lakeville Arts Council in your acceptance letter. The Lakeville venue may not necessarily have this information.
