Profile
Brain Arts' mission is to realize creative independence in systematically undervalued communities, prioritizing BIPOC, ALAANA+, LGBTQIA+, emerging and experimental artists. Through adaptive methods and hyperlocal engagement, we foster a culture where individuals create their own power and opportunities. Since 2009, we have been organizing cultural events; actively recruiting touring artists and musicians to New England; financially supporting under-heralded, independent, and local artists, musicians, and filmmakers; and providing a media platform to expose their work to our growing audience. Our programs include Dorchester Art Project, Brain Arts Org Events, the Boston Compass Newspaper, and the Boston Lobe electronic newsletter.
