MAPC, in partnership with the City of Framingham, is developing an Arts and Culture Vision Plan to guide how Nevins Hall and the Community Center can better support arts and culture in Framingham and strengthen connections to community needs. The project includes artist-led creative engagements that help gather local perspectives and on-the-ground insight to shape the plan and inform the City’s ongoing investments in arts and culture.

Creative Placemaking Call for Artists 

In partnership with the City of Framingham and a group of local Project Advisors, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) seeks artists to submit proposals for temporary creative placemaking activities at Nevins Hall. The main goal of the project is to explore how Nevins Hall can support the needs of artists, cultural bearers, and community members, and how it can serve as a bridge connecting the constellation of people and places across Framingham’s arts and culture ecosystem.  

The deadline to submit application is Friday, May 1st, 2026.
