The workshop will walk attendees through the online application and answer any questions about the grant process. In addition, FCC members will be on hand to discuss specifics of individual project proposals to give advice and suggestions. To RSVP or for any questions, please e-mail Stacey David, FCC Chair, at franklinculturalcouncil02038@gmail.com “We really encourage applicants to attend the workshop as well as carefully read the grant application guidelines and grant priorities, which can all be found on our website,” says FCC Chair Stacey David. “We are very pleased that the Town of Franklin increased our budget this year, and hope to fund more projects than we were able to in the past. We have also established new Council Priorities, which gives priority consideration to projects that meet certain criteria, including programs that engage girls in science, those that involve events held within the newly demarcated Franklin Cultural District, new programs or applicants, and, as always, those that are held in or benefit residents of Franklin.” While grant allocations have yet to be announced from the FCC’s state funding source, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the FCC anticipates disbursing approximately $12,000 in grants for 2019. In addition, a separate grant cycle will be conducted for ArtWeek-specific grants, which will open for applications on Dec. 15, and close on Jan. 31. Previously funded projects include: programs/field trips for many of Franklin’s schools (public and charter), Concerts on the Common, Franklin Downtown Partnership Harvest Stroll, LiveArts concerts, FPAC’s Whatever Theater Festival, Southeastern MA Community Concert Band, and the Franklin Art Association, to name a few.

Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for more than 40 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. As Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote, Smither sings about “the big things – life, love, loss – in a penetrating and poetic yet unpretentious way.” September 22, John Gorka with Amilia K Spicer, 8 p.m., $30 Called “the pre-eminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk movement” by Rolling Stone, John Gorka possesses a commandingly beautiful baritone voice. His articulate guitar playing compliments his superb lyrics on songs that are romantic, cosmic, poetic, haunting in their imagery or hilarious. Many well-known artists have recorded and/ or performed his songs, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura O’Connell. John has graced the stage of Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, etown and has appeared on CNN. http://johngorka.com/.
