Belleville Arts Foundation Awarded Feasibility Grant from Massachusetts Cultural Council

Newburyport, MA–The Belleville Arts Foundation, Inc. (BAF) has been awarded a $35,000 feasibility and technical assistance grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. This grant will fund a study to transform the Belleville Meetinghouse located at 300 High Street, Newburyport into a financially and administratively self-sufficient community arts education center that, while preserving the historic features of the building’s exterior, will offer students, performers, and audiences modern amenities and comfortable interior spaces for learning and performance. The mission of the BAF is to preserve, maintain and improve the Belleville Meetinghouse and use it as a civic hub and venue for arts education and performance.

The BAF is currently raising funds to support its mission. The grant awarded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council is a matching grant. Your donations to BAF at this time will be worth double by the terms of the MCC grant award.
