NATICK, MA — The Natick Cultural Council announced its latest round of grants this week, which will support a variety of arts, education and culture projects around town. The 29 grants total about $14,000, and come via the state Mass Cultural Council. Each year, the Legislature sends an appropriation to the state cultural council, which then gets divided between local cultural councils. The Natick Cultural Council members — Kevin Baldwin, Prerna Dublish, Robert Hirsch, Shriya Joag, Grace Keeney, David Krentzman and Livia Mosanu — decide how to divide the funds. Here are the 29 groups and projects that will be funded this year: Lilja Elementary School: Leigh Valley Storytelling GuildDiane Edgecomb: Animal Tales for Summer ReadingNatick Historical Society: Natick for NewcomersVoices of MetroWest: Singing Together – VirtuallySean L Fullerton: Acoustic Memories for SeniorsKirk Whipple: Duo Pianists, Composers and Educators Whipple and MoraRob Zammarchi: Elijah T.
