The Worcester Arts Council voted to approve its budget for the period ending May 2025 after a motion and voice vote.

The chair presented a budget summary and said the council’s balance "as of May 2025... looks like our actual balance sheet or balance is $20,418 that we have on hand with some outstanding balances or obligations that we need to still send out." Members asked for further financial expertise for future meetings; no detailed line-item discussion was recorded.

A motion to approve the budget was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Why it matters: The approval authorizes the council to proceed with grant and event activities under the current fiscal snapshot; members indicated they would seek more detailed financial review in future meetings.
