Boston’s creative scene is set to take center stage this fall as Robert “ROB.” Kelley-Morgan unveils NOW OR NEVER: RENAISSANCE, an arts and music event taking place on October 11th, 2025, at 10 Dunbar Ave (UNITY) in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
Organized by PUTINWORK in collaboration with THRILL and powered by Dorchester Art Project, the event will transform UNITY into a modern-day juke joint, bringing together the city’s most dynamic talents for a night that celebrates Boston’s ongoing cultural rebirth.
Robert Kelley-Morgan, known widely as ROB., is a Boston-based talent manager with more than a decade of experience working with artists across the country. Over the years, he has managed an extensive range of creatives including rappers, singers, songwriters, producers, DJs, photographers, videographers, models, and vixens. His long-standing work in the industry led to the creation of PUTINWORK, a company that curates and collaborates on creative cultural endeavors dedicated to highlighting black American art and music communities.
NOW OR NEVER:RENAISSANCE is built around the idea of showcasing the artists, musicians, and creators who represent the current sound and spirit of Boston. The event will feature live performances, DJs, and visual artists, capturing the energy and evolution of the city’s creative movement. Unity will be reimagined as an immersive space divided into two rooms: the main hall, where the core performances and party will unfold, and a cool-down room featuring additional DJs, live art, and intimate sets.
The night promises a fusion of live energy, powerful performances, and authentic artistic collaboration.
Supported by PUTINWORK, THRILL, Dorchester Art Project and NOW OR NEVER. RENAISSANCE stands as a unified effort to highlight the talent and originality driving Boston’s cultural scene forward. The event will serve as both a showcase and a celebration, an opportunity for the city’s creative community to come together and redefine what a modern Boston Renaissance looks like.
