Description
About First Night, Inc.
Mission Statement: To reveal and celebrate diversity through the First Night celebration and the First Night Neighborhood Network, using art as a catalyst to unify the community through creativity, imagination and participation.
First Night, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization that produces the landmark New Year’s Eve celebration and conducts the First Night Neighborhood Network, a community outreach and arts education program that directly serves hundreds of children and families in Boston’s neighborhoods each year. Founded in 1976, First Night was started by a group of artists and local residents who sought an alternative to traditional New Year’s Eve revelry. Since then, the celebration has grown from a small arts event centered on the Boston Common to a major citywide festival of the arts with related year-round community programming.
The First Night celebration serves as a showcase for Boston’s cultural and artistic communities through over 250 exhibitions and performances by both local and internationally recognized artists. First Night attracts a total audience of more than 1.5 million people annually. The unique concept that originated in Boston 30 years ago has served as a model for more than 200 similar celebrations worldwide. First Night has truly become a cherished Boston tradition.
