Bio

In 1986 a group of artists at the Boston Center for the Arts invited friends and neighbors into their studios to view their art. As other artists in the area became interested in the event, the United South End Artists was formed and that same year, the USEA was granted non-profit status. Our mission is to cultivate a community that promotes art and artistic development in Boston’s South End. We believe that an informed artist is a creative artist, and that an informed audience is an engaged audience. We believe that art is not only meant to be seen and shared, but also something to be experienced.
