Massachusetts musicians, your stage might just be the airport terminal this summer.
The Mass Cultural Council — the Commonwealth’s largest public arts investor — is teaming up with Massport for a new pilot project that blends travel and culture in a uniquely public way. The initiative, titled “Live Music at Logan,” is set to bring solo artists into the bustling heart of Boston Logan International Airport for a string of paid, live performances.
With hundreds of thousands of travelers passing through Logan daily, the program offers a high-visibility opportunity for local talent to showcase their sound to a global audience — no tour bus needed.
But don’t expect a typical concert crowd. Organizers are specifically looking for solo performers who thrive in unpredictable, busking-style environments — artists who know how to grab attention and hold it in the middle of a busy terminal. Think energetic, flexible, and crowd-savvy.
Who Should Apply?
The ideal candidate has experience performing in dynamic, public spaces — whether it’s subway platforms, festivals, open-air markets, or city streets — and can effortlessly engage an ever-changing mix of listeners. This is less about big production, and more about raw talent, adaptability, and charisma.
Musicians across all genres are encouraged to apply, as long as they can bring a portable, high-impact performance that complements the airport’s diverse, fast-paced energy.
Why It Matters
The project isn’t just a feel-good summer gig. It’s part of a bigger push by the Mass Cultural Council to embed local arts deeper into everyday public life. By placing artists directly in high-traffic spaces like Logan Airport, the initiative helps amplify creative voices while offering residents and visitors alike a snapshot of Massachusetts’ cultural identity — one setlist at a time.
