Pao Arts Center
Bunker Hill Community College
The Pao Arts Center is an arts, culture, and education space for the community to convene to preserve and celebrate the cultural and creative assets of Boston’s Chinatown. The Center adds a new and unique Asian American and Asian immigrant cultural space to the landscape of Boston and represents the reclamation of an important piece of land for the community, Parcel 24, that was taken by eminent domain by the City of Boston in the 1960s, displacing hundreds of residents. A range of BHCC classes is offered at the Pao Arts Center, including theater, visual and media arts and business. Students and community partners also have access to the BHCC mobile language lab at this location.
