THE BUSHNELL'S MISSION AND VISION

Elevate the Spirit

• Over 30 million people – of five generations-coming to The Bushnell

• Over 20,000 performances exciting their senses, heart, mind, and soul

• Enriching, illuminating, energizing, and delighting the spirit of the community has been The Bushnell's constant mission.

For 90 years, The Bushnell has been central to life in Greater Hartford serving as its unique gathering place for arts, education, and community activities. 

As a dynamic 21st Century performing arts center, The Bushnell presents, creates, inspires and shares the best in the performing arts; and in partnership with others, serves as a catalyst to advance education, promote economic development and build a sense of community in Central Connecticut.

Today, The Bushnell, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, is the State's largest arts organization and has been deemed a "Connecticut Cultural Treasure." Experience The Bushnell - past, present, and future – in the video below, beautifully produced by CPTV.

Working Together, Welcoming All

At The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, we believe that a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives strengthens both our organization and our community. We are committed to cultivating a workplace and cultural campus where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to contribute. This commitment is reflected in everything we do - from the stories we tell on stage to the teams who bring them to life. We encourage applications from individuals who are excited to contribute to this environment. Bilingual candidates and those fluent in Spanish are especially encouraged to reach out.
