OUR MISSION

Making creativity and professional artistry accessible and available for underserved communities

The Lynn Music Foundation is a non-profit startup centered on creative community collaboration in music and the arts. It was founded in 2022 by Edwin Cabrera, Chris Martin, in order to provide music education, performance opportunities, and mentorship to the underserved music communities in Lynn.

The organization’s mission is to provide resources to Lynn artists in music and the arts, helping them to reach their fullest potential by creating an environment for collaboration, and providing professional development opportunities for Lynn artists.

Through programming and services offered, the foundation will work to foster a sense of camaraderie and collaboration between members of the music community, with the ultimate goal of creating a more vibrant and diverse music scene. The foundation will work to provide access to instruments, lessons, and workshops to local youth and adults. Additionally, The Lynn Music Foundation will host a variety of events, such as concerts, workshops, and master classes, that provide members of the community with the opportunity to network and learn more about the music industry.

OUR CORE VALUES

Our beliefs dictate our actions

We are a dedicated group of creatives who strive to create a thriving arts and culture community in Lynn by utilizing the talent of community members.

Unchecked Inclusivity

We stand for every artists’ unique sound, background, and lived experiences. We believe in a community unified by drive, that welcomes any and all to define themselves creatively.

Creative Empowerment

We are the incubator and eco-system for Lynn’s aspiring artists and their ever-flowing creativity. We strive to provide everything artists and creators need to begin defining their sound for the world to hear.

Collaborative Fusion

We believe that an environment that allows artists to learn and create with others is not only paramount to their unique sound, but their growth as professionals and people.
