NEMPAC Artist Series

ANNOUNCING NEW ARTIST SERIES LINEUP FOR 2025/2026 SEASON!

NEMPAC is proud to present the second season of our Artist Series. This series creates a platform for artists across Boston to elevate the voices and musical cultures of our city’s diverse peoples. Artists were chosen through a public Request for Proposals process, which introduced us to many talented local professionals. We selected our inaugural season lineup to represent a diverse range of perspectives, genres, and program design. To enhance cultural dialogue, our Artist Series programs will also include interaction with the performers to learn more about their repertoire and artistic experiences.

The purpose of the series is a collaboration between NEMPAC and each artist, fostering meaningful connections between our local communities in Boston and the arts, while promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, and providing space for dialogue and reflection.

We will be returning to two of our favorite venues for the new Artist Series this season with our first two concerts in 2026 at the stunning Bijou de la Vida Gallery in the North End and capping the series at City Winery Boston next April.

SEASON PASS AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

This year we are offering a season pass to all three of our Artist Series concerts for $125/person, which includes VIP reserved seating, which you can purchase here.

We are also offering the opportunity to sponsor an artist or sponsor one of the three concerts. Please reach out to Will Neely at wneely@nempacboston.org or 857 239 9997 if you are interested.
