Arts Leadership in Boston, MA

From the Top’s Arts Leadership Program empowers young artists to make a difference in their communities through what they love to do most: music. This past Monday, seven performers from our Boston taping joined us for the Arts Leadership Orientation, where they explored what Arts Leadership means to them. Every show presents a different cast of characters, and this dynamic group gave itself the name “Bosstland”: a play on the city and country of their origins (Boston + Iceland).

Here’s “Bosstland’s” definition of Arts Leadership:

1. Bringing people together: old, young, poor, rich, natives, and foreigners
2. Music can’t be taken away or segregated once it’s given.
3. Leaving something more for someone else

At the end of our 3-hour session, we asked the group to film a 30-second clip to share their message for arts leadership and to capture their team spirit. Check it out below!
