A new arts facility is coming to Boston in 2027. Castle of Our Skins, an arts institution that celebrates and aims to generate curiosity in Black music, cut the ribbon on Thursday, Dec. 5, at its new location at 566 Columbus Ave. in Lower Roxbury/South End. The 2,491-square-foot space, which will be called Gold Hall, will function as a performance and community space for the organization.
Castle of Our Skins was co-founded in 2013 by violist Ashleigh Gordon and pianist/composer Anthony R. Green. Both attended the New England Conservatory of Music and connected over their love of classical music. But they found that centuries of contributions of Black artists to the genre were often overlooked or ignored.
