CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT &
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our Creative Development and Community Engagement programs focus on creative place-making and place-keeping, advocacy and organizing, development of Boston’s Latin Quarter as a cultural district, and community-based Afro-Latin arts enrichment.
All of our work is grounded in a sense of place, aiming to ensure that Boston’s Latin Quarter continues to grow as a diverse, vibrant neighborhood, a hub of Afro-Latin arts, and a home for Greater Boston’s Latinx community. HSTF youth contribute to and also learn from connecting and working in partnership with neighbors in the Latin Quarter through Afro-Latin arts and advocacy.
