The Royalston
Cultural Council supports a wide variety of programs in the arts, theater,
music, and natural history every year. On first Fridays from November
to April, we sponsor the Royalston Open Mic, which won the Massachusetts
Gold Star Award in 2008. We also sponsor the annual Royalston Music
Fest each July, which brings talented performers from around the region
to Bullock Park for a rousing afternoon of family fun.
We also collaborate with the Village
School, Royalston Community School,
the town of Royalston,
and Phinehas
S. Newton Library
to produce programs for students and their families.
We receive annual funding from the Massachusetts
Cultural Council, a state agency that promotes excellence, access,
education and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences
to improve the quality of life for all Massachusetts residents and contribute
to the economic vitality of our communities. We use this funding to
offer several thousand dollars in grants each year to foster local programs.
We welcome new members! Our meetings and events are fun.
Please contact any of the members below if you are interested in joining
the council.
