Who are we?
Artspark is a community-powered music & arts event series based in Boston, Ma. We independently organize live music events, and facilitate community classes that are accessible across ages and levels of experience. Through our live music experiences, and community classes, Artspark sits at a unique intersection between a creative production agency, and an education space. The distinct branches of our programming work together, contributing to our goal of taking the power and privilege out of the creative arts.

Read about us in The Boston Globe!
“ArtSpark’s events prioritize fair pay for performers, who often settle for paychecks that can barely cover dinner and the gas required to drive to and from a show. As a South-Asian American and a performer of 14 years, [Ava] Dudani understands that proper compensation can be the difference between an artist developing a full-fledged career and struggling to break even every month, especially for BIPOC artists. ”
