why Artspark?
Artspark is a community-powered music & arts event series based in Boston, Ma. We independently organize live music events, and facilitate community classes that are accessible across ages and levels of experience. The distinct branches of our programming work together, contributing to our goal of taking the power and privilege out of the creative arts.
In Boston, careers in the arts are made inaccessible by high-costs of living, the racial wealth gap, and lack of infrastructure existing outside of higher education. What is needed to remedy these issues are spaces for artists of all ages and levels of experience to converge through accessible resources for professional development in the arts. We offer a solution with our high quality live music experiences, community-centered education, and integrated workforce-empowerment approach to music education (We Inspire, We Care, We Rise). The intermediate and long term outcomes of these efforts will constitute a thriving creative economy that prioritizes pathways for our city's most marginalized voices.
mission & vision
The mission of Artspark is to provide excellent live music experiences, empower young artists to construct successful futures, and build an inclusive, equitable, and thriving creative economy.
Our vision at Artspark is a city and a world in which equal access to career paths in the arts are accessible to everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. We believe that finding solutions to barriers and challenges faced by the most targeted and marginalized communities will create economic mobility in the arts for all people.
