Midway’s ground floor studios welcome artists and cultural organizations from Midway, Fort Point and across Greater Boston, fostering a collaborative environment and hosting convenings that strengthen the performing arts community.

The Midway Lab has been developed to be versatile and multi-purpose to further expand the arts and cultural mission on the ground floor. It will support the development of visual and sound experiences, performance, rehearsal, multimedia art, video projection mapping, filmmaking, cinema, screenings, fabrication, large-scale art assembly, education and training in drama.

The Fort Point Lyric Room is a shared community studio operated by BLO at Midway which provides space for Boston Lyric Opera, Midway residents and the City of Boston, supporting the development of performance, rehearsal, multimedia art, video projection mapping, filmmaking, cinema, screenings, fabrication, large-scale art assembly, education and training in drama, vocal instruction & music, and a multitude of other uses which support the creative activity and financial sustainability of both organizations.

In addition to being BLO’s administrative hub, the  Opera + Community Studios can accommodate a full range of artistic and creative activities, including music and staging rehearsals, public programs, education and community events, and producing operations.
