Creatives in the Pioneer Valley
Please take 5 minutes to start a conversation that will help shape a future arts and culture resource for the three counties of the Pioneer Valley.

We are collaborating to plan a multimedia Arts Hub in the three counties of Western Massachusetts and are asking your help in  spreading the word so that as many people as possible have a chance to weigh in on how the hub would work best for people in the myriad creative fields.

We are:

• The Creative Economy Network (CEN), a regional network of more than 20 arts organizations officially designated by the Commonwealth and working together to support the creative economy of western MA;

• Holyoke Media, (website under construction) a non-profit public access multimedia that uses bilingual audio and video production to help to educate, inspire and activate community engagement;

• Itabix Inc  a web development and hosting company located in Hadley, MA that has been in business since 2000.  


The Community Foundation of Western MA has funded a planning grant to explore developing a multimedia and online Arts Hub that is intended to strengthen the arts and creative sector across the Hampden, Franklin and Hampshire Counties in Western MA with an emphasis on connectivity, visibility and coordination. The vision includes important outcomes of:

1. Achieving a deepening understanding of the local creative economy, including diversity of programming, organizations, and individuals,

2. Expanding the possibilities for enhancing and growing the creative sector, emphasizing arts organizations, and artists/creatives of all forms, and those who engage in the arts either as creators, sponsors, hosts, funders, renters, sellers, etc. If you are in any way connected to creativity, we would love to connect with you.

3. Insuring that the Arts Hub is financially sustainable.


To that end, we created a short survey that includes space for you to add any information/comments/questions.

Please share this link with your friends and contact!

If you have any questions, please contact me, Natalia Muñoz, at Natalia@HolyokeMedia.org or call me at (413) 200-9733.
