Our Purpose

Families Creating Together (FCT) provides inclusive community opportunities in the arts for youth of all abilities and their families from BIPOC, intergenerational, and low-mid economic backgrounds primarily in Boston neighborhoods. FCT believes that experiencing the joy of the arts is a conduit that breaks through many barriers that threatens the health and wellbeing of vulnerable members of our community due to the challenges of living with disabilities, language barriers, homelessness or raising grandchildren.
