2022 Season of Programs from the Cultural Council
Last November, our committee sifted through 36 applications for grants to fund various projects. We picked 23 that provide fun, culture, and educational opportunities for everyone in our Otis community. Following is a list of those we selected.
– Four programs at the Farmington School: a field trip, the Annual Community Arts program, a photography program, and a music enrichment program.
– A music composition program to accompany author Ty Allen Jackson’s book “When I Close My Eyes”. Music to be performed for the entire Lee School community with reading by the author.
– “Notice Otis” Series of virtual events about local art and literature.
– Three events to take place in Otis: “A Ukulele Show” family program at the library; A performance of Songs and Storytelling; and the “Magical Potter’s Wheel” demo to be held at a local event.
– Donations to 14 organizations for local events. They are:
