Boston Creates, Neighbor

Boston is a city of innovation, diversity and collaboration. A city where creativity thrives. We see it in every neighborhood and every community and it is among our most powerful assets.

Boston Creates, under the leadership of Mayor Martin J. Walsh, is a community-wide effort to harness this creativity, to build a shared vision for arts and culture.

Over the next year, Boston Creates will provide an opportunity for Boston’s many communities and neighborhoods to create a cultural blueprint highlighting Boston’s strengths and setting innovative goals for the future. We’ll look at community organizations and individual artists; cultural spaces and facilities; our cultural heritage and communities; our festivals and events; and creative industries and occupations.
