When: Wednesday, August 10, 6:30 pm
Thursday, August 18, 6:30 pm

ABOUT:

As part of the ArtsUnion initiative, the Somerville Arts Council is working with the Mayor's Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development to review zoning and ordinances as they relate to the arts and Union Square.

Do you have experience and/or interest in creating new galleries, performance spaces and artist live/work space? Are you a street performer or an artist who creates public installations? If so, please come to these public meetings and share ideas about how the city can help cultivate the arts scene through zoning and ordinances.

In the wake of the excitement over ArtsUnion, the Somerville Arts Council will conduct a zoning/regulation review to further support the arts and distinct character of the Square. As Mayor Curtatone has said, "Somerville has more artists per square mile than any other U.S. city - excluding New York City." ArtsUnion will provide even more opprtunity and creative spaces for artitsts.
