NEMPAC/Revere Memorial Association Receives BCC Fund

Paul Revere Memorial Association and North End Music and Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) have received a $2,000 grant from the Boston Cultural Council (BCC) for organizations and institutions supporting arts and culture in the City of Boston.

The grant winners represent the diversity of the city’s art community from a wide range of categories.

BCC received 151 applications for the 2015 grant round and selected 72 to receive some of the $303,476 fund.

“We’re working towards making Boston the country’s municipal arts leader, and we can’t do it without supportive and committed partners,” said Mayor Walsh in a press release. “Funding is often a hurdle for cultural organizations, and I’m proud that we doubled our Boston Cultural Council funds this year. Thank you for your contribution to a thriving, healthy, innovative, Boston.”

BCC falls under the umbrella of the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and is comprised of thirteen, Boston residents appointed by the Mayor to support innovative arts, humanities and interpretive sciences programming that enhances the quality of life in the city.

Members can serve up to six years, while BCC reviews grant applications on an annual basis.

            Boston City Councilor Sal LaMattina, whose district includes the North End said, “Like the Mayor, I believe the arts are crucial to both expressing and achieving the vision of a thriving, healthy and innovative Boston.”
