Six of the seven gubernatorial candidates―Attorney General Martha Coakley, Treasurer Steve Grossman, Don Berwick, Evan Falchuk, Jeff McCormick, and Mark Fisher―have confirmed their participation in the first-ever Gubernatorial Forum on Arts, Culture, and Creativity.
The Forum will be moderated by arts critic Joyce Kulhawik and will take place at The Hanover Theatre of the Performing Arts in Worcester on Tuesday, July 15 at 6pm. More than 250 artists and arts and cultural leaders throughout the state signed an invitation to gubernatorial candidates to participate in the Gubernatorial Candidate Forum on Arts, Culture, and Creativity. It will mark the first time that the arts community has hosted an arts-focused debate among gubernatorial candidates in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All members of the public are invited to attend.

The MassCreative forum for the mayor’s race was superb. The Paramount was completely sold out, and I think it’s clear that those serious about the arts had a significant impact in that race, and also in continuing to pressure Mayor Walsh in what seems like a really great direction.
Doing the same statewide would be fantastic.
At the very least, it’s a great way to get them talking about issues beyond the usual ones that take up most of the air from the race.
and have we found his hands yet?
