Fostering Art and Culture in Franklin County This is an exciting organization of six unique partners working to assist all artists in the Franklin County region by offering business courses and training that will make a difference for individual artists and the Creative Economy as a whole. The arts are a powerful industry in New England. We influence spending, have employment power, create a regional identity, and generate interest and excitement. Our creative efforts help make "home" more vibrant and interesting, and bring cultural dollars to our towns that support local restaurants, hotels and b&bs, gas stations, and stores, as well as our own creative work. According to a study by The New England Council: The Creative Economy, both nonprofit arts organizations and commercial organizations and individual artists "supports almost 245,000 jobs in New England, an amount that nearly equals the computer equipment cluster and more than the software and healthcare technology clusters combined." As a collective, we have great power, but as individuals, there remain significant needs, the most important of which is to make a living from one's work. To boost some of this potential, the Fostering the Arts & Culture Partnership invites every artist or creative person in the region to: The Fostering the Arts and Culture Partnership is a project of the Franklin County Community Development Corporation (FCCDC), Franklin County Chamber of Commerce (FCCC), Franklin-Hampshire Regional Employment Board (FH-REB), Greenfield Community College (GCC), MassCountryRoads.com, and the Shelburne Falls Area Business Association (SFABA). |
