Mission:
The mission of Arts in the Park (ATP) is to cultivate awareness and appreciation of working artists across the various communities within Boston.
Description:
Boston celebrates the 5th year of Arts in the Park. ATP is a daylong event where Boston artists are welcomed to Malcolm X Park in Roxbury, MA to create live art in public spaces. By turning the studio inside out, ATP offers Boston residents of all ages a look into the immense effort artists put into creating their pieces, fostering appreciation for the arts that is tangible and concrete. For the last four years, ATP has been a staple event in the Boston cultural community and has continued to reach broader audiences with each passing year.
This year’s innovative programming includes live music, a dance competition hosted by the Floorlords, a mobile farmer's market, face painting, 30 community organizations offering information about their programming, and a black men's panel entitled: Aspirations, Challenges, and Opportunities— Voices of Black Men in the Arts.
The theme of ATP this year is Culture, Community, and Lifestyle a celebration of the quotidian occurrences of our day-to-day made eternal by the work of artists. All events listed are free of charge
