[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

With Trump carrying out a coordinated assault on our shared history, it’s imperative that we support our local museums.

TY to the @MAAHMuseum & our local leaders for their partnership in telling this hostile, anti-Black White House: hands off our museums & hands off our history.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Art helps us reach one another, inspire each other and see a better future through the things we create. At this moment, we need connection, imagination and hope more than ever.

Another year of incredible art, music and performances at Creative Sector Day. Thanks to Emily Ruddock and @MASSCreative, @masscultural, and everyone who makes Massachusetts one of America’s most vibrants states for the arts!

[Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll @MassLtGov]

From North Adams to New Bedford, Lowell to Lynn, Pittsfield to Provincetown, our cities and towns are full of artists, storytellers and creative businesses!

Creative Sector Day is always fun — but they really took it to another level this year. Big thanks and congrats to @MASSCreative, @masscultural and all the hosts and cohosts! 🎨
