Fitchburg Arts Community Ribbon Cutting

The ribbon has been cut on the Fitchburg Arts Community, a cornerstone of downtown Fitchburg’s revitalization. Congratulations to NewVue Communities and the City of Fitchburg for bringing this transformative development to life.

This project delivers 68 new homes, with more than 80 percent designated as affordable. Critically, the development integrates arts and culture into daily life through gallery and studio spaces while preserving three historic buildings that reflect Fitchburg’s history and character.

According to Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 by Americans for the Arts, arts-related development generates billions in economic activity nationally every year, strengthens local business districts, and fuels lasting community pride. In Fitchburg, this project proves how art and housing together can anchor renewal and inspire connection.

Congratulations to Carrie Knudson and the MHIC Community Investments team for their leadership. And recognition goes to all the partners, officials, artists, and community members whose collective effort made this incredible project possible.
