Calling local artists! The Somerville Arts Council wants to hear from the arts and cultural community to better understand the issues you face with work, life, programs, etc. The SAC’s work is always evolving and changing, and we are always seeking ways to add and expand our initiatives to better serve you. In addition to our current programs and initiatives, listed below, we want you to help us shape and guide our efforts to meet your needs. To that end, we will host an Art Summit on Sun., April 10, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Arts at the Armory (191 Highland Ave.).

Current programs and initiatives include:

• Youth programming.

• Festivals and events that support artists and promote cultural and civic engagement.
• Direct grants to artists and organizations.
• Culinary entrepreneurial initiatives.
