The Arts at Boston College

The Boston College Arts Council encourages advocacy, enhancement, and visibility for the arts. We believe artistic pursuits are essential to the formation of the whole person and fundamental to a dynamic university environment—whether you're reflecting on the impact of the arts in lecture halls and museums, or participating in the act of creation in our rehearsal rooms, studios, and stages.
