The Westport Cultural Council invites volunteers to apply to this small but active group that supports artists, musicians, dancers, theater groups, historians, educators, naturalists and others seeking funding for cultural events and programs.
The council, which is sponsored by the Town of Westport and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, administers two grant programs — the state Local Cultural Council program and the Helen E. Ellis Charitable Trust.
Volunteers must commit to a three-year term and are required to attend about 12 to 14 meetings per year and selected programs funded by the council. Meetings generally take place on weekday evenings. Artistic talent or experience is not required, but energy, ideas and ability to use email are important.
To apply, send a letter to the Board of Selectmen, Town of Westport, 816 Main Road, Westport, MA 02790. The letter should describe the applicant’s interest and qualifications.
