Actions
Creative Collective partnered with Groundwork Lawrence as a continuation of their ‘Imagina Essex’ initiative, to assist in reimagining the Winter Farmer’s Market as more of a communal destination and event while incorporating the local creative community and Merrimack Valley-based entrepreneurs. The event hosted live music, bee keeping demonstrations, cooking demonstrations, and an art market.
Impact
- Introduced programming to complement the food sales and educational resources currently being offered at the market
- Continued the conversation that creative economic development strategies, driven by the community at-large, can have real transformative and catalytic potential when valued and fostered in a way that encourages equitable inclusivity.
