2026: BLOOM

We’re excited to announce BLOOM as the theme for Express Yourself’s 32nd annual performance season! Developed collaboratively by our staff, artists, and community, BLOOM celebrates the creative growth that unfolds when young people are given space to express themselves freely. Throughout the year, our participants will explore what it means to nurture ideas, take creative risks, and flourish together through the arts—all leading up to our annual performance on May 21, 2026. We can’t wait to share the joy, color, and imagination that will BLOOM from this season’s work.

Express Yourself and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health present:
