The Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) is pleased to announce "Inside:Out - Weaving Arts into the Urban Fabric,” a national open design competition that will transform the Tremont Street plaza and other public spaces surrounding the BCA, which occupies an entire city block from Clarendon Street to Berkeley Street in Boston's historic South End.
The ideas phase of the competition will be open to all interested persons within the United States regardless of background or training. "Inside:Out", which has been in planning for over a year, will have a public launch in January 2006 with a "Visioning Event". Registration will open in February, five finalists will be selected in May, and the winner announced in September.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2006, the BCA is an urban cultural village, incubating and showcasing the performing and visual arts and artists of our times.
