ArtWeek, a 10-day celebration of arts and culture in Boston and beyond, will take place in a fall edition Sept. 26-Oct. 5 featuring 77 new events and an expansion into 27 Greater Boston neighborhoods and nearby towns. The collaborations involve more than 130 organizations.
Some of the promised programming: stealth yarn bombing; a wearable art extravaganza; a CD release party featuring live jazz, sizzling BBQ and fiery drinks; the 30th anniversary screening of the Talking Heads documentary “Stop Making Sense” with costumed participants and ’80’s karaoke; and a chance to exhibit your artwork along with Sidewalk.
A press release describes the programming as “a full array of artistic and creative experiences, designed to involve, invigorate and ignite imaginations and interaction with audiences.” Events will be offered for all audiences, including families, with more than half of the events free, and many others priced at $5-$20.

ArtWeek is designed to become a new Boston tradition as well as a model for statewide and national expansion. ArtWeek is presented by Highland Street Foundation, produced by Citi Performing Arts Center, and supported by ArtPlace America. ArtWeek also partners with major media organizations.
