Whether you’re an artist, a small business owner, or a chef, Talk of the Town 617 is here to elevate local voices and foster networks that help grow the creative scene.

They respond to their audience quickly on social media and are always eager to collaborate and help new creators network. The result? A movement that has helped shape Boston’s creative scene—and now, thanks to the “TheYCounted Us Out Tour”, they’re making waves from coast to coast.
