Access Framingham

We want to send a massive thank you to everyone who took our community news survey for The Frame!

While we are still combing through all the data, one thing you made loud and clear: Framingham has a massive appetite for our local arts scene! In fact, over 70% of respondents explicitly voted "Arts & Culture" as a top priority topic, with many of you asking for more coverage of cultural events, local history, and upcoming theater and music showcases.

Your feedback is already helping us shape the future of local news & public media as we head into a major milestone... Access Framingham’s 20th Anniversary year! To celebrate that incredible community spirit, we partnered with the talented local artist Patrick St. Pierre to design this stunning new commemorative postcard for Access Framingham!

Want to grab one for yourself? This gorgeous design is officially tied to our new membership & supporter push to help keep local stories alive. Drop a comment below to let us know what you think of Patrick's incredible work, and if you want to get your hands on one, let us know! 👇

We are officially in the midst of celebrating 20 years of local community media at Access Framingham, and we aren’t slowing down. To celebrate, we are officially teasing our brand-new upcoming music show: The Scene!

Access Framingham loved being in the room last night at this year's Taste of MetroWest! The food and drink were incredible, the energy was electric, and the vibes were buzzing. The pizzas were plentiful, and the laughter was contagious.

As usual, job well done Thanks for having us!

What an honor and pleasure to connect with as well! ✨

And a special thanks again to our Access volunteers who made this night complete! Thank you, Bill!
