Creative Sector Advocacy Day was part of a weeklong series of events designed to foster support for arts, culture, and creativity in Massachusetts. Mass Humanities was a co-host of Creative Sector Advocacy Week, along with:

“Our cultural sector strengthens communities and brings more voices into the Massachusetts story,” said Brian Boyles, executive director of Mass Humanities. “At this pivotal time, increased funding for humanists, artists and our grassroots organizations can help us imagine and build a more equitable commonwealth. Mass Humanities is honored to partner with Mass Creative, Mass Cultural Council, and our legislative champions for this day of celebration and advocacy.”
