Massachusetts Artists Leaders Coalition

Artists leaders and artist-run groups addressing policy issues that affect artists in Massachusetts

MALC Massachusetts Creative Economy Council 2009 recommendations

The Massachusetts Creative Economy Council (CEC) released its mid-year report to the Massachusetts State Legislature on September 3rd: CEC_Report09.pdf.

Members of the Massachusetts Artists Leaders Coalition have been attending all the public meetings of the CEC. Due to MALC attending all the CEC meetings and our advocacy for individual artists of all disciplines to the CEC, MALC  was asked to be the working group for artists issues for the CEC. On July 1st, MALC gave its recommendations to the CEC for their mid-year report (note, due to the economic downturn all the CEC working groups were strongly urged to forgo any recommendations for new income streams for the next two fiscal years): MALC_CEC09.pdf.
