Boston Creates, under the leadership of Mayor Martin J. Walsh, is a community-wide effort to harness Boston's creativity to build a shared vision for arts and culture. You can help shape this future by considering questions such as:
What are your observations about Boston's cultural life?
What are its strengths and weaknesses?
What are the needs of your community?
What are your suggestions for addressing those needs?
How can Boston Creates improve things?
What is your vision for citywide cultural development?
What would success look like in ten years?
What role should the City of Boston play?
What other questions, observations or suggestions do you have?
Do you suggestions for other key people or organizations that we should be sure to include in the process?
Attend the town meeting June 2, 2015 from 6-9pm at The English High School in Jamaica Plain and express your opinions on these questions. Or submit comments to this blog post and we will relay your thoughts to the city.

The Kennedy Center National Seminar for Teaching Artists is designed to strengthen the quality and impact of teaching artists' work. To do so, this intensive, multi-day Seminar leverages the Kennedy Center's decades of experience in professional learning for artists.
The National Seminar involves 30 teaching artists from around the nation in lively discussions and activities designed to help them learn and apply targeted skills in Residency and Lesson Design. Instruction is supported by live demonstrations, PowerPoint presentations, and colorful print materials that identify key concepts through diagrams, checklists, and useful planning forms. Throughout the Seminar, time is provided to process the learning in small and large group discussions and reflections. In the months following the Seminar, participants continue to develop their Residency and Lesson Plans in consultation with a Kennedy Center teaching artist/mentor.
