In 2026, FRACC introduced a new Artist Policy Group to bring local artists and creative professionals together to advocate for policies that support a thriving, equitable, and sustainable arts and culture sector in Fall River.

The group provides a platform for artists to share perspectives, identify community needs, and help shape local policies that recognize the value of arts and culture.

FRACC invited City Council members, local artists, cultural leaders, and community stakeholders to a community roundtable for a constructive conversation about arts & culture policy in Fall River during Creative Sector Advocacy Week 2026.

We explored how the creative sector drives economic development, tourism, youth engagement, neighborhood vitality, and how we can work together to strengthen our city’s cultural future.
