Creative Space DNA: Creative Zoning & Municipal Tools – Arts Overlay Districts

Event Date 06.26.2026

Time 12pm

Join Mass Cultural Council and the ArtStaysHere Coalition for a new Creative Space Development Network Accelerator (DNA) online discussion for those who are developing, preserving, operating, and advocating for a healthier creative space ecosystem across Massachusetts. Each session will focus on a particular aspect of creative space preservation and development, and we’ll make sure there’s time for questions and discussion beyond the featured subject. Our goal is to provide an open and dynamic network of actively engaged space operators and advocates.

This month, we’re welcoming Greg Jenkins, former Executive Director of the Somerville Arts Council, and Annis Sengupta, Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC)’s Director of Arts & Culture for a discussion of creative zoning, municipal tools, and arts overlay districts.

Session attendees can receive 1.5 AICP CM Credits (APA event #9326670).logo of the American Planning Association Massachusetts Chapter.

We welcome your input on potential topics for future sessions. Please be in touch with Jay Paget with any suggestions and ideas.
