JANUARY 2025 ARTIVIST TOWN HALL
MASSCreative’s Artivist Town Hall is a monthly webinar that connects artists and creatives with resources, training, and expert insights to support their creative practices and activism.
In January 2025, we welcomed organizers from the Berkshire/Columbia Counties Pay Equity Coalition to discuss their work to bridge wage disparities for entry—and mid-level employees at cultural organizations in Berkshire and Columbia Counties.
This work is ongoing. Videos of the Pay Equity Project’s 2023 and 2024 summits as well as their 2023 and 2024 reports can be found at the link below.
