Karen Ristuben reports!

Hello friends of Rocky Neck….

A very brief piece of EXCELLENT news, before the press release is issued!  After many hundreds of hours of volunteer work and amazing, unwavering support from our state legislators and city leaders, we have secured a Cultural Facilities grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council in the amount of $154,006. toward the acquisition of the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck!  A MAJOR accomplishment for our arts community, this grant will help us to reduce our mortgage debt, and will bring our vision of sustainability ever closer.  We cannot thank enough our volunteers, our community, our City and State leaders, and the MCC staff whose belief in our leadership and stewardship is clearly demonstrated through this award.

Way to go, Rocky Neck Art Colony and thank you all!!

Yours,

Karen

  1. Good for you, Karen and good for the RNAC and all of the hard-working volunteers (like Judy Robinson-Cox et al)! I know that applying for a grant is an extremely time-consuming and arduous task and in this case well worth it!
    Gaudeamus igitur!
