Led and hosted by MATV, Malden’ Media Center, the program included a welcome, art talk, keynote speech about Watertown’s Mosesian Center for the Arts, performances, and a break out discussion using a tool known as the “Innovator’s Compass.”
This summit sparked a list of needs and next steps for Arts & Culture to take hold in Malden. Learn more and stay updated about what’s next.
