In October WBUR hosted its annual celebration honoring The Makers, artists of color shaping the culture and arts landscape in Greater Boston. In 2025, The Makers focused on artists who use their creative practices to explore ecological issues, sustainability, climate justice and our relationship with the natural world. Artists in the cohort challenge perspectives and inspire action toward a more sustainable future.
This event was the culmination of a weeklong online and on-air editorial series from WBUR's arts and culture team. This year featured special performances from Jake Blount, Skooby Laposky and Marissa Molinar.

This event is made possible with support from The Huntington.
The Huntington engages, inspires, entertains and challenges audiences with theatrical productions that range from the classics to new works; we train and support the next generation of theatre artists; we provide arts education programs that promote life-long learning to a diverse community; and we celebrate the essential power of the theatre to illuminate our common humanity.
