The Record Co. creates accessible pathways to music creation that strengthen Boston's cultural ecosystem, preserve creative spaces, and build sustainable careers through community-centered education and affordable professional resources.

What We Do:

Operate 47,500 sq ft of professional creative space across two Boston locations
Serve 2,800+ monthly users from 131 Greater Boston communities
Provide studio access at $10-80/hour vs. market rates of $100+
Deliver workforce development through partnerships like Bunker Hill Community College
Support 400+ creative businesses and career pathways

Our Impact:
We're Boston's creative infrastructure—the foundation where music makers find their space, build their skills, and create careers that last. Through our integrated ecosystem at 960 Mass Ave and 55 Morrissey, we've proven that creative space preservation generates economic development and community stability.

Why It Matters:
In a city where creative spaces are disappearing, we've built a sustainable model that other communities are studying and replicating. We don't just provide affordable access—we create the complete infrastructure where Boston's creative economy thrives.
