CREATIVE SECTOR ADVOCACY WEEK 2026 | MARCH 2 - MARCH 6, 2026 |
Join artists, creatives, and cultural sector leaders for our annual, statewide Creative Sector Advocacy Week. This is a week for celebrating the vibrancy of our creative sector and taking action to ensure that it remains strong.
Creative Sector Advocacy Week events happen in communities throughout Massachusetts and include a day of performance and visibility at the State House. We provide you with actions that you can take from home, as well as opportunities to convene with creative sector advocates who are organizing throughout the Commonwealth.
GET INVOLVED
-
Letters to the editor (LTEs) and opinion editorials (op-eds) are free and direct ways of communicating with a lot of people about cultural policy issues and things that are impacting your creative community. Authoring a LTE or op-ed is an effective way to attract a larger audience to your issue and sustain conversations about your given priority.
Creative Sector Advocacy Week is a great time to submit a LTE or op-ed about your cultural policy priorities. Think about the kind of impact we could have during Advocacy Week if advocates submitted letters to newspapers throughout Massachusetts!
Get involved with Creative Sector Advocacy Week by submitting a LTE or op-ed to your local publication. Visit our blog to review the LTE and op-ed guide.
