Westfield Arts Collective

Westfield Arts Collectives programming represents a diverse range of artistic and community based programs including ongoing collaborations with the Westfield High School and Westfield Art Society along with other community presentations. Each exhibit endeavors to represent the artistry of local professional and student artists. As the organization evolves, we will maintain extremely diverse programming so that all residents in the community and region feel represented and welcome at the events, classes, and facilities. The organization will be working closely with members of the community, local officials, community and business leaders, students, families and other constituents to ensure that it operates with the broadest level of engagement, inclusion, and transparency.

In addition to artistic programming, the organization engaged fundraising counsel to help develop a strategy for future capital and annual campaign efforts, a theater planning consultant to help develop a comprehensive business plan and operating model, and an architectural firm to develop plans for repurposing the 100 year old Rialto into a vibrant community arts center.
