Gain a new perspective of Roxbury as you walk between two of its prominent hills, Fort Hill and Mission Hill. Beginning with colonial First Church in Roxbury and ending with the puddingstone grandeur of Mission Church, participants will visit prominent religious buildings which relay the history of Roxbury, as well as hear about demographic changes and industrial developments that impacted the neighborhood. The tour is presented in collaboration with Boston By Foot.

Note: This tour travels up and down hill.

Creative Entrepreneur Fellowship 2015-2016

The Creative Entrepreneur Fellowship (CEF) is designed to create career momentum for a diverse group of artists and creative solopreneurs. The program includes personalized goal setting, one-on-one coaching, skills training seminars, a stipend ($750-$1000) for business-related purchases, and an opportunity to showcase work at a capstone event. The inaugural year of this fellowship was held in 2014-2015. CEF is a customized professional development experience for 7-10 individuals selected through a competitive application process. The program kicks off in November and runs through June. Workshops will be held in Roxbury, as well as at the offices of the Arts & Business Council (A&BC) in Fort Point.

The A&BC and our partners are currently looking to accept a small, diverse group of solopreneurs— entrepreneurs and artists working to build a professional practice— with a focus on individuals living and/or working in Roxbury and surrounding neighborhoods. Candidates for this program may include visual artists (e.g. public artists, photographers, painters, etc), graphic designers, writers, musicians, craftspersons and artisans, etc
