Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston

The Arts & Business Council invests in the people and organizations that create the art we love. We do this through an integrated and responsive platform of programs and services designed to support and nurture the creative ecosystem. Our holistic platform of programs strengthen and build the capacity of nonprofits, nonprofit boards, and creative businesses—from training skilled executives for nonprofit board service to supporting organizations with access to HR education and benefits for their employees. We work to empower artists, arts organizations, and creative entrepreneurs with the business tools and resources they need to meet their own definitions of success. We provide professional development education and support through workshops and webinars, unique fellowship opportunities, mentorships, and direct services. We partner with foundations, philanthropists, and local government to respond to the needs of artists and organizations and to deliver real value to our community. We also partner with local business through our corporate art lending program. And at our annual Martinis & Masterpieces event, we bring the best of both worlds together to support the health of our creative economy and to celebrate the area's many arts champions.
