Arts Bucket List
boston college arts council
Time flies by too quickly at BC — be sure to take advantage of the arts and culture opportunities with Boston College and the greater Boston community.
To inspire and inform you, the Arts Council has assembled a "bucket list" of events and opportunities to pursue before you graduate. Complete your Arts Bucket List and get your name dropped in the Arts Council’s “Bucket of Fame” on our website. We can even provide you with our special Bucket List envelope to collect your tickets, programs, and event photos. Show us the proof at any time and we’ll post your name right away!
If the list goes by too fast, we dare you to try the ADVANCED Arts Bucket List. Now THAT’S a challenge!
Check out our featured event each month for inspiration, tips, and discounts.
