Combined
Mission Statement:
Break The
Silence! Foundation Inc. (BTS!), Brookline Community Center for the Arts (BCCA),
Genuine Voices, and Boston Music Conference are in collaboration to
establish a facility under one
roof, a common goal as the Greater Boston Community Center for the
Arts (BCCA).
BTS! is Utilizing
BCCA as a template, to facilitate Arts centers for disadvantaged young adults and children, gobally.
This will
provide positive options to children
and adults and learn how to use their abilities and cultivate their
talents with programs including music, film-making, visual arts,
acting,
world dance forms, martial arts, fitness, and art appreciation.
Our
collaboration with community outreach organizations such as Dorchester Boys and
Girls Club and Berklee College of Music, Boston College - MIT - Yale - and Harvard Alumni will extend our ability to make
a difference in the community by providing young people a safe place to
learn and grow.
Through guidance and positive reinforcement, we will
support their needs to rise above challenges by utilizing creative
outlets to express themselves in productive ways. The Centers
will
provide arts education, practice and performance facilities, recording instructor
training, while creating new opportunities for students and artists. We
will host community events and provide performance opportunities for
emerging artists to showcase their progress and the opportunity to collaborate
with established artists as role models.
Through
the use of multimedia,
telecommunication, and Internet technology, we will promote
the
pursuit of thriving careers and contribute to the creation of an
extended network of artists in all different social - economic
communities locally and internationally.
