The Charles River Regional Chamber launched an initiative to encourage residents of  Newton, Needham, Wellesley, and Watertown to shop and support local arts, culture, and nonprofits this holiday season. As a small local nonprofit, we are appreciative of the Chamber’s campaign, particularly as we raise funding from our community to keep our programming going strong in 2026. Check out the Chamber’s 10 Ways to Support Local Arts and Culture – lots of the options listed make for excellent holiday gifts!
