Spotlight: Arlington Community Comes Together Through Art
At MASSCreative, we are proud to highlight Arlington and ACAC’s work not only as an example of the power of partnership in one specific moment, but also as a demonstration of how long-term relationship-building creates a culture that allows these inspiring moments to happen. The kind of engagement we see in Arlington is what motivates us to promote the importance of the arts & culture in connecting communities and creating joy through public art for all.

‘This is exactly the time you wish someone would surprise you with a poem’
Steven Ratiner, the poet laureate of Arlington, came up with the idea of sending poems by Arlington poets to 1,000 randomly selected homes in Arlington. Then the pandemic hit, followed by its economic fallout, and racial unrest. He changed the project to an e-version, and now the poems are being read by thousands of people around the country hungry for a respite from all the grim news.
