Who We Are

The purpose of the Cummington Cultural District is to engage the entire town in an inclusive and positive effort to identify priorities and work towards a vibrant Village area with collaborative programming and marketing to new audiences to experience all the things which make Cummington special. We have identified three primary goals:


Goal 1 - Community Cohesion

Goal 2 - Collaborative Programming & Marketing

Goal 3 - Enhanced Space and Buildings through Arts & Culture

Find Out More

By coming together to form a cultural district and working together to achieve the prioritized goals, Cummington hopes to use artists’ vision and creativity to revitalize its economy, improve underutilized space, and bring residents together around a shared identity.


What is a Cultural District?

A cultural district is a specific geographical area in a city or town that has a concentration of cultural facilities, activities, and assets. It is a walk-able, compact area that is easily identifiable to visitors and residents and serves as a hub of cultural, artistic and economic activity. 


The goals of a cultural district are to:

  • Attract artists and cultural enterprises
  • Encourage business and job development
  • Establish the district as a tourist destination
  • Preserve and reuse historic buildings
  • Enhance property values
  • Foster local cultural development
