FM #1379 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1379 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my Cultural Conversation with Cory Shea and John Ristaino in the Franklin TV & Franklin Public Radio Studio on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.  

Cory Shea, is the Town of Franklin Director of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy. Yes, a big title. John Ristaino, is the Chair of the Franklin Cultural Council.

We talk about the relationship between the Cultural Council and the Cultural District and Cory's role in helping with the collaboration between these two groups and with the cultural entities in Franklin.

We talk about the 6 priorities of the Council Council that guided their grant process. The applicants should have addressed these priorities in their application and in many cases worked with the Council to clarify what was being asked for and what would be done with the grant.

The recording runs about 48 minutes. Let’s listen to this Cultural Conversation with Cory & John. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1379-franklin-ma-cultural-conversation-01-28-25/
