During the Jan. 29 Concord Cultural Council meeting Chair Tooey Rogers introduced Stewart Ikeda, who described the Freedom’s Way Hidden Treasures project as a potential resource to provide arts grantees with additional funding and marketing support. The minutes record the program as an opportunity to help promote and supplement local grantee activity rather than as a committed funding stream.
After the presentation Chair Rogers introduced two prospective Concord Cultural Council members: Jack Megan, introduced as recently retired from his role as director of the Office for the Arts at Harvard, and Laurie O’Neill, introduced as a recently retired culture reporter for The Bridge in Concord. Their introductions were informational; the minutes do not record formal appointments or votes.
Council members Anita Tekle, Hilary Taylor and Barbara Ewen agreed to research venues and logistics and to set up a spring grantees Gathering to bring together arts grantees and partners. The gathering is intended as a coordination and networking event to help grantees learn about potential funding and marketing resources, including Freedom’s Way. The Council scheduled follow‑up discussion and operational decisions for its Feb. 18 meeting.
