Board of Arts Ambassadors
Become an Advocate for the Arts
The Greater Hartford Arts Council's Board of Arts Ambassadors (BOAA) is a group of passionate leaders, advocates, and connectors who believe a thriving arts community strengthens our region.
Arts Ambassadors help expand the reach of the GHAC by sharing our work with their personal and professional networks, advocating for the value of the arts, and serving as champions for artists, arts organizations, and the arts community throughout Greater Hartford.
Whether you're a business professional, artist, educator, civic leader, or someone who believes in the power of the arts, the Board of Arts Ambassadors offers a meaningful way to get involved.
