Thank you for your interest in becoming a partner in the Watertown Cultural District (WCD). The Watertown Cultural District was created by the City of Watertown to “support inclusive and diverse cultural experiences that showcase the arts and strengthen the local economy.”

Please confirm your interest in joining by emailing the Partnership at wscd@watertown-ma.gov to schedule a meeting time during which you will learn how this body operates and the commitment it involves. Before signing this agreement, you must complete an orientation with the Chair or Vice Chair of the Cultural District Partnership. If you represent an organization or business and are not the director or principal, you must also provide proof from your director or principal that you are authorized to represent the interests of your organization or business at this body.

The Watertown Cultural District, working collaboratively among its partners within and without the district, will jointly market cultural events and activities, promote the arts, and drive cultural activity throughout Watertown. Additionally, the Watertown Cultural District will unify cultural partners to establish Watertown as a cultural destination that is a welcoming and engaging designation for residents and tourists and, in turn, drive economic activity to all partners.
