Creative Imaginings Lynn
BIPOC artists in Lynn are integral to the social fabric of our city. Currently, barriers to collaboration exist between BIPOC artists and municipal and organizational leaders who are the stewards of funding, visibility and permissions. BIPOC artists, in collaboration with the Lynn Museum/Lynn Arts and Creative Collective, will examine these barriers and reimagine opportunities to foster trust and accountability with municipal and organizational leaders. By centering the voices of BIPOC artists from Lynn, this collective imagination journey aims to envision ways for diverse artistic and cultural expression to not only exist, but to truly thrive in Lynn.
Lynn Museum/LynnArts is pleased to be collaborating with Creative Collective, Daveth Chet, OOMPA, and Ramon Santiago on this project, generously funded by a Collective Imagination for Spatial Justice grant from New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA).
As part of our project, we are building a database of Lynn based artists. Any artist that currently resides in Lynn, practices in Lynn, or holds studio space in Lynn is encouraged to complete our survey:
