Cultural District Partners
The Cultural District would not be possible without the support of the greater Franklin community - and the work of our Community Partners. The objectives of the Franklin Cultural District (FCD) partnership encompass fostering programming, events, and activities that bolster both the arts and economic growth within the district. The collaboration among FCD partners plays a crucial role in promoting the district through various channels, including the use of the FCD logo and engagement with media outlets.
Additionally, partners are encouraged to feature their events through FCD social media platforms, facilitating cross-promotion of each other's initiatives and contributing positively to the surrounding cultural district and broader community. This interconnected approach strengthens the impact of local businesses, enhances the district's vibrancy, and enriches community engagement.
