From the Article:
The Community Music School of Springfield (CMSS) has explored these questions through both their participation in Mass Cultural Council’s CultureRx: Social Prescription pilot program and the Trust Transfer Project (TTP), and have found some powerful answers in Springfield, MA. The Trust Transfer Project has enabled CMSS to deepen their mission towards the “whole health” of communities that began with their involvement with the CultureRx: Social Prescription pilot in 2020.
During the pandemic, the Trust Transfer Project launched as a partnership between CMSS and the Springfield Cultural Partnership with a quest to find “the people, the power and the purpose” for utilizing the arts to engage and network their community. Using the time and urgency of the pandemic, they gathered, listened to their community, and supported artists of color to artistically create messages to build trust, hope, and vaccine confidence in their community.
