Cultural Convening
Fall 2017

Help us shape the day! This fall we are planning on holding a daylong event on a Saturday in Worcester that will bring together community members from across the Commonwealth. Our goal is to provide resources, training, tools, and most importantly, inspiration to help communities build capacity and effect change in order to increase the impact of their community led-efforts to sustain and promote a rich cultural life.

The event will be attended by Local Cultural Council members, artists, Cultural District partners, municipal representatives, and Adams Arts Program participants.
