Non-Event, Inc.

Non-Event, Inc., based in Boston, Massachusetts and founded in 2001, is devoted to the presentation of the finest in experimental, abstract, improvised, and new music from New England and around the world. It serves the local community in two ways: by bringing innovative national and international experimental musicians to the region; and by supporting local artists through the presentation of their work in the best possible contexts, while maintaining affordable ticket prices and paying artists reasonable fees. Non-Event has never worked in just one venue, which has resulted in the development of sustained, creative partnerships with institutions in and around Boston, including universities, international cultural organizations, small businesses, independent galleries, museums, night clubs, and outsider art collectives. Non-Event has presented over 350 concerts in and around Boston in a wide variety of venues that have ranged from coffee shops, galleries, and loft spaces to former movie palaces, university lecture halls, 19th-century ballrooms, a Victorian-era pumping station, and inside Boston’s iconic City Hall. Since March 2020, Non-Event have been presenting pre-recorded and live performances online more than once a week, continuing to provide opportunities for numerous experimental musicians to perform during this pandemic.
