When difficult choices regarding public funding and policy decisions are made, the creative and cultural community’s interests must be considered.

Since its founding in 2013, MASSCreative has worked with advocates across the Commonwealth to build a stronger, more equitable and inclusive creative sector. From local and state elections to increased public funding for creative and cultural work, our organizing efforts have shifted how Massachusetts values our community

Ensuring that every child, regardless of zip code has accessible arts, education and creative youth development experiences.

Public funding of arts, culture, and creativity ensures everyone in Massachusetts has access regardless of economic status, geography, education, or ability. Because creativity and culture strengthens our communities, connects us to each other, and generates significant economic activity, investments from federal, state, and local governments are a sound investment of taxpayer dollars.

Protecting and expanding spaces for the creation, presentation and enjoyment of arts and culture throughout the Commonwealth.

Strengthening Massachusetts’s Creative Economy and Growing our Creative Workforce.
