Pentucket Bank has donated $5,000 to Creative Haverhill, a non-profit organization that has provided residents of greater Haverhill with arts and cultural experiences to since 2009.
The Bank’s donation will assist Creative Haverhill in developing high quality spaces for community and cultural expression through the establishment of a multi-purpose cultural arts center, Cogswell ArtSpace. The Center will broaden the city's exposure to the arts, engage new audiences, support and showcase the city's cultural assets, and create new programming to meet the needs of an even greater portion of Haverhill's residents and surrounding communities.
Through contributions like this, Pentucket Bank is helping to build a thriving ecosystem where creativity flourishes, community ties strengthen, and residents feel a greater sense of belonging and pride in the city. This investment not only benefits artists and cultural organizations but also enriches the entire region—helping to attract new audiences, support local businesses, and promote Haverhill as a destination for arts and culture.
“Creative Haverhill plays a pivotal role in enriching the cultural landscape of Haverhill,” said Bank President and CEO Steve Jaskelevicus. “They not only nurture the arts, but also contribute to the city’s economic vitality and social cohesion, making it an indispensable asset to the Haverhill community. They are most deserving of our support.”
