Notice: The Community Cultural Grant workships have been postponed. These workshops will be rescheduled in the future and cultural organizations and the public will be notified of the dates when they have been selected. 

The Cultural Council of Volusia County will conduct two workshops in January for organizations wanting to apply for the Volusia County Community Cultural Grant. The workshops will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 22, in the first-floor training rooms of the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, 123 W.

The meeting will provide information about the submission deadline and grant scoring date. Grant award recommendations are forwarded to the Volusia County Council for review and final approval.
