We were thrilled to join arts organizations from all across Massachusetts at the Creative Sector Advocacy Day last Wednesday! Hundreds of artists, administrators, and advocates gathered together in Boston’s beautiful State House for invigorating speeches expressing why the arts are vital. Thank you to the MassCreative team for organizing this powerful day of solidarity and celebration.
Creative Sector Advocacy Week 2025 happened last week April 28th – May 2nd, 2025. As MassCreative posted on their website: “This is a year for action. We have a lot to be proud of when it comes to the creative sector that we have built – Massachusetts is the third most arts-vibrant state in the nation, our elected leaders continue to invest in state-level programs that support creativity, and our coalition is cultivating more arts and culture champions in elected offices. We also know that the sector faces significant external threats and that strained government budgets will make decisions about public investments more challenging.
Advocacy, community organizing, and creative joy are essential right now. Creative Sector Advocacy Week is an opportunity for members of Massachusetts’ creative sector to unify, invest in advocacy skills development, and organize public support around projects, programs, and policy solutions that will protect and strengthen the sector.”
