Our nonprofit the Greater Roxbury Arts & Cultural Center Inc. was formed in 2022 to develop a 35,000 square foot visual and performing arts center in the Nubian Square commercial district in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, MA. Our inaugural president and CEO is Taneshia Nash Laird.

To support and present innovative performing arts, cinema, visual art, and humanities that honor the cultural roots and diverse talent emergent from the African diaspora, while promoting social justice and economic development in the Nubian Square neighborhood of Boston.

To become a destination where patrons, partners, and performers can find meaningful connections through the arts, and to be a leader in celebrating the beauty and richness of Black and Latinx culture in Boston.
