The grants were part of MCC’s $8 million statewide investment in the nonprofit cultural sector.
“MCC grants help to ensure that the unique cultural resources in Andover and the extraordinary breadth of cultural activity across the Commonwealth continue to flourish and benefit our citizens today and for years to come,” Finegold said. “The impact of state support for the arts, humanities, and sciences is significant. The Andover Cultural Council really makes an effort to support a variety of groups and programs so I look forward to see what the Council introduces the town to this year.”
