Ashfield, MA – MassDevelopment and the civic crowdfunding platform Patronicity have launched a new Commonwealth Places campaign with Double Edge Theatre for “Collaborative Imaginings,” a project to convert vacant and underused farm buildings into beautiful new spaces for the performing arts.
If the campaign reaches its crowdfunding goal of $50,000 by June 8, 2018, at midnight, the project will win a matching grant with funds from MassDevelopment’s Commonwealth Places program.
Double Edge Theatre calls Collaborative Imaginings a love letter to the theater’s rural hometown of Ashfield, as the project will transform these buildings into a vibrant rural arts campus. The project aims to make Franklin County a destination that aggregates creativity, artistic expression, imagination, and culture alongside a rural identity, demonstrating how art is key to economic sustainability.
