FM #1396 - Art Pharmacy Community Comversation - 03/05/25
This session of the radio show shares the Art Pharmacy Community Conversation held at THE BLACK BOX on March 5, 2025. Cory Shea, Director of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy opened the event with 3 panelists who made brief presentations and then participated in a Q&A session.
Panelists:
- Michael Bobbitt, Mass Cultural Council
- Emily Devlin, Art Pharmacy
- Amy Friguiletti, Deputy Town Administrator
The Q&A session of this is not shared, the audio quality was not sufficient.
The presentation portion of the event runs about 35 minutes, so let’s listen to overview of Art Pharmacy and how the Town of Franklin will be the first community to use their Opioid Settlement funds to use this
