Cross Cultural Collective (C3)

The Cross Cultural Collective (C3) is a platform to elevate and celebrate African diasporic arts and its creators.

Located in Boston, the Cross Cultural Collective (C3) is a platform to elevate and celebrate African diasporic arts and its creators. The name signifies the many diasporic cultures that make up what we think of as Black arts. The contemporary artists and programmers leading the collective have expertise in galvanizing the strength of community through dynamic expressions that span from visual and performing arts to design, photography, and health & wellness.

“Boston needs C3. The team has a mission and a vision to make Boston better for everyone through creativity and community. Their passion is only rivaled by their expertise and drive, and I’m proud Design Museum is part of this important initiative.”
– Sam Aquillano, Executive Director, Design Museum Everywhere

Partnering with Design Museum Boston as a fiscal sponsor, Cross Cultural Collective aims to create a rich ecosystem for everyone in the City of Boston and beyond to enjoy. Cross Cultural Collective will be a destination for the arts and offer levels of membership to empower Black artists to showcase their work and to engage patrons in the neighborhood, New England, and further.
