CROMA Space

CROMA is an open, accessible performance and activities space in the heart of Boston that welcomes all cultures and backgrounds.

Ágora () manages three wonderful venues at Arlington Street Church in Boston: 𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔, the 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹, and the 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆. Arlington Street Church is a Unitarian Universalist institution that gathers in love and service for justice and peace.

𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔 is perfect for mid-size gatherings, and it’s a blank canvas to dress up however needed. It has a low stage with backdrops and entran

ces to “backstage” on each side, projection technology, and access to a fully equipped industrial kitchen that also functions as a bar. CROMA has its own entrance, through the public alley on Arlington street, behind the main entrance to the Sanctuary.
*Maximum capacity of 200 people

In addition to CROMA, Arlington Street church is the house of the 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹. This is an elegant space that’s great for intimate concerts, stylish gatherings, corporate meetings, and presentations. It connects to the Sanctuary (in the case you would want to do your event at both) and to a nursery/kids room.
*Maximum capacity of 85 people

The 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 hosts the largest collection of Tiffany Glass Windows in a church. It is a two-story marvel with a grandiose feel. It can be used for speakers, choir concerts, or large gatherings.
*Maximum capacity of 900 people

🎶 ♥️ The CROMA SEASON 2026 is over! From February to June, the Boston audience enjoyed 12 events featuring music, comedy, dance, and interdisciplinary experiences. This lineup also included the third season of the BoriCorridor Tour and special collaborations with Vivo Performing Arts and Arts Action Consortium, solidifying the venue as a hub for cultural expression and community in Boston.

Each performance was an invitation to discover new perspectives and celebrate the artistic richness that connects us. The season also marked the launch of the first Open Doors Residency for local artists in collaboration with the Arts Action Consortium and supported by the City of Boston.

💙 THANK YOU to every artist who was part of the season. For the love and dedication you have shown for the stage, the audience, and yourselves.

💙 Thank you to every person who bought tickets and supported the artists by attending.

♥️ Special thanks to the City of Boston Arts and Culture and Barr Foundation for their support to this initiative.

Enjoy the recap!
