"Art speaks across generations, transcending boundaries from geography to culture. Inspired by art's ability to celebrate individuality while fostering unity, we encourage everyone to explore their story, their own art history."
Every year in April, the Boston College Arts Festival celebrates our rich campus arts scene. For 18 years, the three-day event has highlighted achievements of accomplished alumni arts professionals, students, faculty, and other BC community members. Organized by the Boston College Arts Council, the festival has grown to include more than 1,000 participants and offers a wide variety of programming—most free of charge—to the public.
Last year, more than 16,500 alumni and area residents came to campus to enjoy some 80 events. Hourly performances, exhibits, and demonstrations showcase music, dance, fine arts, and our literary culture.
The Arts Festival never fails to be one of the most vibrant, colorful, and exciting events on campus each year.
