Families Creating Together (FCT) provides inclusive community opportunities in the arts for youth of all abilities and their families from BIPOC, intergenerational, and low-mid economic backgrounds primarily in Boston neighborhoods. FCT believes that experiencing the joy of the arts is a conduit that breaks through many barriers that threaten the health and well-being of vulnerable members of our community due to the challenges of living with disabilities, language barriers, homelessness, or raising grandchildren.

The mission of Families Creating Together is to provide inclusive community opportunities in the arts for children of all abilities and their families and to strengthen their community systems of support. FCT aims to encourage the full participation of individuals and their families in a way that maintains sensitivity and respect for children of different abilities and from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. Intergenerational participation is an integral part of FCT

FCT program staff are experienced professional artists and facilitation assistants who reflect the diversity of our participants' identities as people of color, immigrants, Indigenous, elders, and people who are deaf or live with disabilities. Our workshops are run in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language, in accessible community-based settings.
