What started as a benefit concert after a brutal murder has grown into the biggest talent showcase in New England. We are a proud partner of the Garde Arts Center (a 501(c)(3)). This 1450-seat historic theater has hosted the likes of Kevin Hart, the Little Pink House film, STOMP and much more (check out www.gardearts.org)
Following the immediate success of the show, we set our sights on expanding our reach. Each year, we built upon our artist development elements while still encompassing our original mission, building bridges within communities.
Now, 10 years later, and with over 65 cities connected to us, we have evolved and so has our mission. Our mission is to spur change globally through art. We started as a small team of caring citizens looking to give youth who were racially targeted and ostracized after a brutal murder something to do in their hometown; in doing so we developed one of the largest platforms to serve the untapped talent in New England.
The talent show currently sponsors and collaborates with emerging artists, venues, and interns. All monies received are redistributed to these initiatives and or to the Matthew Chew Memorial Scholarship.
