Fostering the art of community in Amesbury, MA.
Get Involved
We are always looking for new board members and volunteers. Join us to help shape Amesbury’s culture!
The Amesbury Cultural Council is a group of City-appointed volunteers who help fund, promote, facilitate, and improve access to cultural activities and the arts in Amesbury and surrounding communities.
Who We Are
Cultural Grants
We award and distribute cultural grant funds provided by the State of Massachusetts to local applicants each year.
Support our Work
The Amesbury Cultural Council, while a City-appointed board, is not funded in any part by the City of Amesbury. Programs directed by the Amesbury Cultural Council, such asCultural Center workshops, Public Art projects, the Poet Laureate program, and the annual Amesbury Open Studios, are financially supported by our own fundraising efforts and generous donations from businesses and individuals.
Your generous donation will go directly into such programming, which impacts:
accessibility to free or low cost art workshops, educational experiences, and showcases for all ages
free community events focused on and uplifting creativity and diversity
accessibility to free poetry readings and workshops made possible through our Poet Laureate program
free access to public art installations, which also contributes greatly to the beautification of Amesbury
the Open Studios Tour, which includes free trolley rides, musical performances, and art demonstrations – and also drives traffic and generates revenue for our local businesses!
the longevity of the Amesbury Cultural Council, and the dreams still to come!
