Another fun event that was funded by the Duxbury Cultural Council and the Mass Cultural Council.

The Duxbury Daffodil Festival is one of the events that is funded by the grants awarded by the Duxbury Cultural Council and the Mass Cultural Council.

Did you know that one of the events that the Duxbury Cultural Council funded last year was the Daffodil Festival at the Senior Center?

The Daffodil Festival partnered the DSC and the Duxbury Community Garden Club to create floral arrangements to be featured and sent home with our home-bound, home delivered meal clients. At the Daffodil Luncheon, guests were treated to a farm to table inspired lunch menu and a guest speaker that provided cultural education about varieties of daffodils and the New England growing season.

Did you know that the purpose of the Local and Regional Cultural Councils is to support public programs that promote excellence, education, diversity, and inclusion in the arts, humanities, and sciences to foster a rich cultural life in communities across the Commonwealth. Local decision-making is an integral element of this system. Local Cultural Councils have the right and responsibility to award grants that
address cultural needs specific to their communities, and they can decide how to distribute funds as long as the state policies outlined in these guidelines are followed.
