Culture Crisis Conversations: Episode 12: Fitchburg Arts Community: Investing in Artists to Revive One Downtown Gateway City
#ARTSTAYSHERE talks with Fitchburg Art Museum director Nick Capasso about being a bilingual museum whose mission includes showing New England artists & a deep connection to community & economic development for Downtown Fitchburg, including the incoming Fitchburg Arts Community (FAC) affordable housing development. Just 50 miles northwest of Boston, a once-thriving industrial hotbed turns to investing in artists as seeds of economic health for one gateway city.
Culture Crisis Conversations is produced in partnership with The Record Co, New Alliance Audio & New Alliance East.
Culture Crisis Conversations, a new podcast series by the #ARTSTAYSHERE Coalition, features in-person conversations with artists, musicians, creative leaders, government, developers & other stakeholders involved with the current crisis in our culture: artist displacement. We look at the problem, the impact, and potential solutions to keep creatives in our region & secure the cultural space needed for their work.
