ArtsArlington is presented by the Arlington Commission for Arts & Culture, the umbrella organization for town-related arts and culture activities in Arlington, MA. Its mission is to cultivate a sustainable and supportive environment for the arts and enliven public space with accessible creative experiences to strengthen and enrich our community, create opportunities for artists, and invigorate the local economy. ACAC consists of a core committee and four main standing subcommittees: Marketing and Evaluation, Grant Making, Fundraising and Resource Development, and Community Engagement (formerly Public Art and Programs and Festivals). The Commission's responsibilities include actively promoting and advocating for arts and culture, managing the Arlington Cultural District, seeking and distributing arts-related grants, and supporting a robust public art program for the Town. Meetings are held monthly on the first Thursday, 7:30 to 9 pm. The meetings are open and the public may attend.
