North Mass Boulder is designed to be a welcoming space that forges a vibrant community centered around health, friendship, and purpose. Our Community Arts Program was created to amplify the artistic expression of our community members. We believe that fresh, community-generated art breathes life into our facility and inspires a more meaningful and thoughtful experience for our members and guests.
