Arts & Humanities Programming
The UU Urban Ministry’s Arts and Humanities programming celebrates the rich cultural heritage and vibrant creativity of Roxbury and Greater Boston. With collaborations with local artists and supporting congregations, we tell the stories and unknown history of Roxbury. Through community-centered performances, exhibits, workshops, and events, we provide spaces for artistic expression, learning, and conversation. Rooted in our commitment to racial and social justice, our programming amplifies voices and fosters connection and transformation through the arts.
To learn more about our programming, please contact Dayenne Walters, dwalters@uuum.org.
