Somerville Arts creates year-round opportunities for the community to connect through the arts. Our work spans public murals that brighten everyday spaces, artist markets that showcase local talent, and signature events like the Central Jersey Jazz Festival and the Tour of Somerville bike race, where art and community energy come together. Through these programs, we support artists, activate downtown Somerville, and make creativity a vibrant part of daily life.
