Cultural Council · Meeting of November 2, 2026

ORLEANS — The Orleans Cultural Council reviewed state grant deadlines and approved its October minutes. Members said denial notifications must be entered into the state system by Dec. 31, with a two-week wait before approvals can be sent. The grant decision report is due Jan. 15.

A member reported a new $600 request from Radio Theatre Live and two remaining payments of $1,500 and $1,200, with neither group having filed paperwork. The council has $5,700 for the current round, though grant deliberations were held for a separate portion of the meeting. Members also set the student art show reception for March 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and Michael Abbott volunteered to help digitize teacher paperwork.
