Create the Vote is a nonpartisan, public education initiative to raise awareness and support for arts, culture, and creativity. By engaging candidates and voters around the role arts and culture play in building strong communities, Create the Vote works to ensure arts and creativity are considered when important policy and political decisions get made at the local level.

MASSCreative worked with a group of artists, parents, and cultural organizations to ask the candidates running for mayor to share their vision for a more creative, connected Melrose.
