The Buttonwood Tree operates under the 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization of North End Arts Rising, Inc. (Near, Inc.). From its opening in 1989, The Buttonwood Tree has been a grassroots, avant garde center for all ages, all comers, artists and audiences. Recognized nationally and internationally as a music venue (see Kunle Mwanga), it has also offered programs led by outstanding artists in contemporary theater, literature, art, poetry and dance—from belly to hip hop—as well as opening its doors to community activists, educational and religious groups!
Now more than ever we intend to explore this dimension of our activities, and we invite you to move forward with us. If you have any interest or ideas about partnering with The Buttonwood Tree, contact us today!
