Downtown Lynn Cultural District

In 2012, the Massachusetts Cultural Council designated a portion of Downtown Lynn as one of
the Commonwealth’s inaugural Cultural Districts. Although appointed in 2012, the history of arts & culture activism in Downtown Lynn goes back decades. Countless individuals and
organizations have contributed their time and energy over the years. The Downtown Lynn
Cultural District (DTLCD) is a keeper of this movement and collaborates with cultural partners,
both new and well-established, to foster a shared creative and cohesive vision for the city’s
cultural community.
