Strengthening the infrastructure where 3,000 creators work monthly.
We are securing an economic engine that is already running.
When Sound Museum closed, artists like Destrashn lost their workspace overnight.
Destrashn found a home at TRC's 55 Morrissey—one of 3,000 artists who work here monthly. But here's the truth: 55 Morrissey is temporary.
That's why we're launching Amplify Boston.
Strategic Investment in Three Priorities
EXPAND TRC Academy
Demand exceeds capacity. Investment expands our music business, recording engineering, and production programs taught by Berklee professors.
INVEST in Capital Improvements
Professional-grade equipment, facility upgrades, technology infrastructure, and Community Stage + Underground venue launch across both facilities.
SECURE Permanent Infrastructure
55 Morrissey is temporary. We're advocating for lease renewal, exploring building options, and partnering with the city to secure permanent creative infrastructure.
"We built 108 workspaces serving 3,000 artists monthly. We launched TRC Academy serving 150 students annually. This infrastructure works. Amplify Boston expands it and makes it permanent."

Essential Infrastructure
This is workforce development investment in Boston's creative economy.
