CACHE in Medford invites you to be a part of the 2024 Medford Arts & Culture Summit at the new Arts Collaborative Medford community arts center on Mystic Avenue. It’s been over eight years since the first Medford Arts & Culture Summit, presented by the Medford Arts Council in November 2015, and SO MUCH has happened to improve and broaden the arts and cultural offerings in the city since then — from a new library to a new arts center, new or reactivated music venues, and many new programs and organizations.

The 2024 Summit program will include a recap and celebration of the many accomplishments since the 2015 Summit; a panel discussion and Q&A with Medford arts and culture leaders; small-group breakouts of attendees followed by an open forum discussion on the current and future state of the arts in Medford; presentation of CACHE’s 2024 Synergy Award; and tours of the new community arts center and studios.

Light refreshments and soft drinks will be served. Attendance is limited by the venue space and is first come, first served, so please reserve your seat through the event registration page. The Summit will be preceded by CACHE’s 2024 Annual Meeting at 1:30 p.m. All are invited to attend.

CACHE and its members advocate for the arts in Medford and work together to make our community a more vibrant place through events, projects, and collaborations with local businesses.
