\u00a0From Matt Wilson,\u00a0Executive Director, MASSCreative:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you all know, MASSCreative is building a grassroots advocacy organization to support the arts and cultural community in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

The arts community has truly been an agent for change here in the state, helping to revitalize cities from Pittsfield to Lowell and impacting the lives of many who have used arts to help focus their lives and careers.<\/p>\n

We are looking to hire a top notch organizer to help us roll out our organizing plan this fall. It is an exciting and passionate community to work with and has lots of potential. We will be doing our public kickoff in October and are looking for someone to come on staff around Labor Day.<\/p>\n

Please pass this along to anyone who may be interested in doing some groundbreaking organizing work to support and arts and cultural community. Please forward me any potential candidates with whom I should follow up.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you all soon.<\/p>\n

Matt<\/h2>\n
