Welcome

Boston Progress Arts Collective is a community of API* artists that aims to create a supportive space and outlet for personal growth, creative expression, and artistic exploration. We strive to use art as an active means for mobilization and education within our communities locally, nationally, and beyond.

API* is a reappropriation of the term API, which was created by the US government to more easily categorize our communities. While API still stands for Asian/Pacific Islander, with the * we redefine and expand the term to include- but not limited to: South-, Southeast-, East-, Central-, or West-Asian, Middle Eastern, Arab, Pacific Islander, Oceanic, Americans of Asian decent, multiracial, adoptee, “other,” or however one chooses to represent their cultural/political/ethnic identity.

For decades, others have used the category API to tell us what we are to them . But now, we use API* to define who we are to ourselves.

You can find us on facebook and myspace, or send an email to collective (AT) bostonprogress (DOT) org to reach us.
