The producer of Bubble Burlesque has received a grant of $5,000 from the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, through its Grants for Creative Individuals Program.

This grant signifies that Bubble Burlesque provides significant public value through its programs and services. The show will add visibility of Bipoc performers in the Boston burlesque community. The grant leverages approximately $1,000 of private funds for Bubble Burlesque.

For this fiscal year, Mass Cultural Council has adopted a $34 million spending plan, allowing the Agency to award at least 2,500 grants totaling approximately $38 million to the Commonwealth’s creative and cultural sector. This is funded primarily through public dollars, including the Agency’s $26.7 million state budget appropriation and support from the National Endowment for the Arts. The agency also runs the Mass Cultural Facilities Fund in partnership with MassDevelopment.

Mass Cultural Council funds reach every community in the Commonwealth. Its mission is to advance the Commonwealth’s creative and cultural sector by celebrating traditions and talents, championing its collective needs, and equitably investing public resources.
