Welcome to HBArts Collective!

We are excited to welcome you to HBArts Collective!

In 2014 Hope founded HopeBoykinDance to build, make and create dance works and be the home for her artistic practice. At the same time she continued her quiet mission to mentor young artists. Your steady encouragement and on-going support made it possible to dream of a way to bring these aims together, and see the much bigger picture, HBArts Collective (HBAC).

HBArts Collective strives to support creators in refining their craft, shaping the future of music, film, theater, and dance through a collaborative non-competitive space. While continuing to support the creative endeavors of our founder, Hope Boykin, HBArts Collective serves other creatives in our community to strengthen their creative voices.

Our inaugural initiative is The Next— a cohort of young, emerging art-makers program given a structured knowledge-base and continued education to navigate the transition from student to professional creator. We are closing gaps with community support for their professional development, talents, and gifts. We understand the demands required to live and work in our field, and we are guiding our future art-leaders through to the The Next part of their lives.

Your financial support assures our work providing pivotal resources to foster creativity, education, and expression, providing vital resources.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation and join us, HBArts Collective, as we continue to be a bridge for a more sustainable arts community.

With many thanks,

Hope Boykin

Founder and Director, HBArts Collective Inc.
