The Artist Advisory Council is a pool of arts community members (working artists, cultural workers, and art administrators) who represent a wide range of perspectives and lived experiences. This group serves as a forum for constructive dialogue and as a liaison between the Boston arts community and BCA leadership. As a result, BCA will be uniquely in tune with the needs of Boston artists, with initiatives grounded in equitable exchange and integrated community-centric frameworks that uphold its mission to accelerate local, working artists’ careers and professional development.
