Art and culture surround us and brings us together. They are a critical component of our community; they have the power to bridge cultures and add a richness to our experiences. Beyond the benefits to quality of life, the cultural sector plays a vital role in boosting the local economy.
Through its Arts & Culture Grant Program, the Community Foundation for MetroWest has historically awarded grants annually that align with our vision for a vibrant community where artistic and cultural initiatives improve the quality of life and contribute to the economic vitality of our region. We promote rich cultural experiences that prioritize equitable access for all residents, foster connection and collaboration, and stimulate our region.

A contribution to the MetroWest Fund for Arts & Culture helps support, promote, and provide access to arts and cultural programming that celebrates creative expression, fosters an appreciation of diversity, and preserves our area’s collective history and heritage.
MetroWest takes pride in its rich cultural history and in the quality of its arts and cultural organizations. Performance venues, art galleries, music schools, historical societies, and more all make their homes in our community. These institutions partner with our towns and cities and each other to provide access to all residents and create jobs for many. They are integral to community-building efforts and are part of what makes MetroWest a wonderful place to live and visit.
Your donation to the MetroWest Fund for Arts & Culture will ensure our MetroWest region remains a vibrant hub of artistic and cultural projects now and for years to come.
