Back in February we released a short PSA we worked on with City of Lynn Election Chief & City Clerk Janet Rowe that shows why it’s important to fill out the Census & how information is kept confidential for over 7 decades. watch it on Facebook by clicking here.

It has never been easier to respond to the Census on your own! This year you can fill it out online at www.2020census.gov, over the phone by calling 844-330-2020, or by mail.

There are even 13 language options available, several listed below with more on their website. 91+million households in the country have responded so far!

Take a socially-distant stroll through the Lynn Museum/LynnArts park to view an outdoor art gallery featuring works from local artists!

Per the state’s guidelines, and for the health and safety of others, capacity will be limited. We encourage viewers to enter through the gates on Union Street and exit through the Museum Courtyard on Washington Street.

Masks are required. We will have hand sanitizer stations available, and the Museum will be open for bathroom/hand wash use.

A huge thank you to Lynn Main Streets, Downtown Lynn Cultural District, Galleries at Lynn Arts and Raw Art Works for the collaboration!
