Artists of all ages are invited to share their creative voices in a celebration of diversity, democracy, and the American spirit. Through art, we can evoke emotion, spark imagination, and inspire meaningful connection across communities.
Contest entry is free and prizes will be awarded. At a time when our country feels deeply divided, this contest aims to highlight our shared values, encourage civic engagement, and create opportunities for our community to find common ground. Selected works will be featured in exhibitions that showcase and support local artists.
This contest is proudly supported by Reclaiming Our Democracy of First Church Unitarian Littleton, League of Women Voters of Westford, Littleton and Westford Cultural Councils.

Please join Common Start at the Massachusetts State House on March 5th to advocate directly to House Representatives about the House FY27 budget proposal, and to ensure that the Common Start priorities are reflected in the FY27 budget proposal that gets released in April.
Important events like this allow us to talk in-person with legislators and legislative staff about our FY27 budget priorities, including increasing the number of families receiving child care financial assistance, growing funding for the C3 operational grant program to support additional child care providers, moving Massachusetts further toward child care reimbursement rates that cover the true cost of delivering high-quality care, and delivering much-needed funding for Head Start providers.
If you are new to advocacy days or advocating directly at the State House – no worries! We will have materials and training provided for everyone who joins, and this is a great opportunity to learn first-hand how everyone in the Commonwealth can advocate for Common Start priorities to their legislators.
Common Start Advocacy Day Time: Thursday, March 5, at 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Location: State House Cafe, 4th floor of the Massachusetts State House (24 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02133)
