MAYNARD

Maynard is a small town west of Boston with a community arts center and an independent cinema, both contributing to a growing cultural identity.

Sanctuary Cultural Arts Center programs live music, theater, and community events in a nonprofit setting. Maynard Fine Arts Theatre is a second-run and independent cinema in a vintage downtown theater.

Maynard has a small-town arts community feel. The venues are affordable and community-driven, and the downtown is walkable and pleasant.

Tip: Downtown Maynard along Nason Street is compact and walkable. Both venues and several restaurants are within a few blocks.

Neighborhoods: Downtown Maynard • Maynard Center
