In honor of 508 Day, to celebrate Worcester’s unique identity and diverse residents, the City of Worcester's Office of Cultural Development is collecting images and stories from community members for the “I Am Worcester” photo project. We invite you to share YOUR Worcester story below!
Created by a Worcester native and longtime former City employee, Amanda Gregoire, the “I Am Worcester” campaign showcases the everyday individuals who make Worcester the distinct, fun and dynamic city that it is.
Get your picture taken for free by professional photographer, Matt Wright, during the photoshoot. Portraits will be added to the "I Am Worcester" gallery and publicly exhibited on social media and in public locations.
To participate in the project, members of the public are invited to attend the upcoming photo session:
•
Saturday, May 5th from 11:00am-2:00pm at the JMAC - Jean McDonough Arts Center, 20 Franklin Street.
