A
New Direction for Worcester: April 26, 2006
On
Wednesday, April 26 a lively group of community members gathered
at Goddard House for a public forum, led by Erin I. Williams,
Worcester Cultural Development Officer and Executive Director
of the Cultural Coalition, and Ellen S. Dunlap, President of the
American Antiquarian Society and Chairman of the Coalition Board.
The spirited discussion centered on the new “Worcester Way” and
“Creative City Initiative” and what they mean for the city’s future.
This was part of an ongoing conversation throughout the city about
how to inspire and nurture creativity in our special community.
Exhibit
opening: April 23, 2006
The
Art of Beginnings opened with a Champagne and Chocolate Reception
on Sunday, April 23. In addition to viewing the
art while enjoying decadent desserts (including a very popular
chocolate fountain!), guests met the artists and listened to the
toe-tapping sounds of Chet Williamson’s Chromatic Swing duo.
