ArtsUnion was launched in 2005 by the Somerville Arts Council (SAC), the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (SPCD) and several local partners with support from the MCC John and Abigail Adams Grant. ArtsUnion seeks to capitalize on the demographic and physical assets of Union Square—its vibrant ethnic mix and burgeoning artist population—to propel an entirely new cultural economic project. Union Square Main Streets, a new neighborhood-focused economic development organization, was also launched in 2005 as part of an intensive effort at renewal.
