Presented by Highland Street Foundation and produced by the Boch Center, ArtWeek is an annual award-winning innovative festival featuring almost 600 unique and creative experiences that are hands-on, interactive or offer behind-the-scenes access to artists or the creative process. ArtWeek was born in Boston in 2013 and now serves over 134 towns across Massachusetts as the signature nonprofit community program of the Boch Center. Statewide champions of ArtWeek include the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism, and the Mass Cultural Council, who also serves as ArtWeek’s Creative Communities sponsor with additional support from the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau.

ArtWeek would not be a success without the support of the 170+ partners and collaborators at the statewide, regional, and local levels. The festival is designed to spotlight how accessible and affordable creativity is to everyone throughout the Commonwealth.  

** ArtWeek 2020 (scheduled for May 1 – May 10) was anticipated to be another record-breaking season. ArtWeek 2020 was cancelled as of March 20, 2020. We anticipate returning for 2020, and hope to make it an even more meaningful celebration based on what we missed out on this year.
