ABOUT US
The Franklin Creative Center for the Arts is a new nonprofit organization dedicated to making the arts accessible, welcoming, and meaningful for people of all ages in Franklin and the greater MetroWest community.
​
We believe creativity is essential to a healthy community. Through visual arts, theater, music, dance, film, and creative wellness programs, FCCA will provide a place where children, adults, and seniors can explore new ideas, build confidence, connect with others, and experience the joy of making something together.
​
FCCA is currently in its founding stage. We are building the organizational, financial, and community foundation needed to create a permanent home for the arts in Franklin. Our board brings experience in finance, operations, law, and community engagement, with a shared commitment to building this center thoughtfully and sustainably.
​
Our vision is a vibrant, inclusive arts center where creativity belongs to everyone.
