Big Hug Tour 2009

The MCC invites all members of the cultural community to participate in its Big Hug Tour, a series of informal gatherings during the week of January 5 - 9, 2009. Come prepared to share stories and data on how the weakened economy has affected your business, and how you're responding. Help us brainstorm how we can work together to promote continued private and public investment in arts and culture in Massachusetts, even as resources are increasingly strained.

Please come prepared to discuss changes in:

  • Ticket sales/attendance
  • Other earned revenue
  • Endowment value
  • Corporate sponsorship
  • Individual giving

Information will not be used for grant review purposes or shared with the public. Eleven meetings will be held statewide, facilitated by MCC staff members. RSVP to Neluka Levy, 617-727-3668 x231 or neluka.levy@art.state.ma.us
