Co-hosted with the Melrose Chamber of Commerce, The State of the Arts, the fourth annual Creative Alliance Summit will bring together cultural organizations, artists, and local businesses to encourage creative sector engagement and discuss strategies for resilience during times of uncertainty.
The Summit will serve as a collaborative forum, highlighting how creative sectors can activate local business activity and connect with the broader community to drive economic opportunity and bolster Melrose as a vibrant city. Attendees will also have an opportunity to engage in small group discussions around strategies for funding and resources, and brainstorm ways to support the City in our upcoming Melrose 175 Years celebration.
