At ETTA International, we believe in Empowerment Through The Arts

We treat all human beings as whole, using self-expression as a method of mending the past to shape a better future.

Our Mission:

Empowerment Through The Arts (ETTA) utilizes the medium of the arts as a way of overcoming barriers to creative actualization and universal participation.

Through our own flagship program, The Rainbow Players, and partnerships with other agencies, businesses and arts organizations, we work to ensure inclusive access to the arts for all people, labeled and non-labeled alike.

We believe in:

• Taking bold steps toward creating unquestioned access to inclusive arts programming*.


• Empowering all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation/gender identity, or ability, to realize their creative potential as Artists.

We achieve this through a wide range of inclusive collaborations to help youth and adults of ALL abilities, to imagine & create;

To manifest DREAMS into REALITY!

*We are proud to participate in the Card to Culture program, a collaboration between the Mass Cultural Council and the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector, by broadening accessibility to cultural programming.
