The Peabody Cultural Collaborative (PCC) knows that a strong arts culture can make a community attractive to call home. It is why our collective mission is to support and promote the many organizations and institutions that are at the heart of our creative economy.

From Northeast Arc’s BlackBox Theater to the City of Peabody’s Wiggin Auditorium, from the Elizabeth Cassidy Folk Art Museum to the George Peabody House and Leatherworkers Museum, from the Peabody Institute Library to the Peabody Historical Society, our arts and culture scene is getting noticed. Just last fall, the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF) awarded the PCC and the City of Peabody its first Creative Placemaking Grant for CuriousCity, a temporary pop-up children’s museum slated to open March 31st.

We know that the arts create opportunities for social interaction, generate community pride, and add value to local economies. In fact, realtor.com recently named the City of Peabody the 5th hottest real estate market in the country. The PCC will continue to support our cultural assets that define our community.
