February, 2022 Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends, We're pleased to showcase our clients’ activities. The ArtsHub of Western Massachusetts is up-and-running. It will become a center for the creative economy, performing and visual artists, venues, and more. The site has calendar listings, jobs, and funding opportunities and more. People can post their programs and services through Common Ground, accessible through the ArtsHub. https://www.artshubwma.org/ And, as a footnote, the ArtsHub held a successful Virtual summit in January.
