The Arts in the Quaboag Region

Quaboag Hills abounds with the arts. From local theater productions to art shows, there is plenty to do and see. Several galleries and working artists’ studios are open to serve discerning collectors. There is truly something for everyone in this region.
Like much of Massachusetts, the creative enterprises are a strong force in the local economy. It is estimated that arts and culture-related businesses and not-for-profits employ more than 100,000 people in Massachusetts. Robert Gavin of the Boston Glove writes: “The arts and artists have been long viewed as keys to economic development as cities welcomed artists seeking cheap rents to revitalize declining neighborhoods. But creative industries in recent years have gained a more central role in development policies following the publication of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class," in which he argues that art, artists, and a freewheeling creative culture are important to attracting skilled workers and fostering innovation"

Watch this space for news of up-coming arts shows, open studio tours, theater productions or great galleries to visit.
