Activating Public Support
Investing in research, analysis, and communications to build awareness, engagement, and public demand for strong arts policies and financing
We recognize that galvanizing public support is a critical component for expanding equity across the arts field. To support this foundational development, the Arts + Creativity Team prioritizes:
- Investing in support of innovative media platforms, forums, and other ways of broadening public awareness of and engagement in arts and creativity.
- Investing in research, policy analysis, and communications to inform equitable policy development and long-term financing options for arts and creativity across the diverse communities in Massachusetts.
- Supporting the development of leaders, cross-sector networks, and coalitions that effectively communicate the value of the creative sector, and increase its visibility.
