The Oakland Avenue Artists Coalition's (OAAC) mission is to serve as a catalyst for the transformation of Oakland Avenue into the North End’s art corridor. The corridor will feature a public art park and continuous performing arts events at varying locations along the avenue. OAAC strives to engage and encourage neighborhood youth in positive self-expression through the arts and uplift and heal the community infrastructure of the North End neighborhood through artistic place making while building an art economy that sustains artists. OAAC’s multi-generational leadership includes artists of multiple disciplines in the performing and visual arts.
