Who We Are
BIPOC Arts was developed in July 2020 out of a desire to have a collective place that features and celebrates BIPOC individuals in opera. Created by Alejandra Valarino Boyer, BIPOC Arts is a one-click response to “I just don’t know any good BIPOC [opera professional] to hire”. We are here. We are valuable. We are talented.
BIPOC Arts is developed, maintained, and run by a couple who each have full-time jobs and full-time lives. We will work diligently to best serve BIPOC professionals, and have hopes to expand the site. This will take us time and we appreciate your patience.
We are committed to antiracism. This is an ongoing journey and we will make mistakes. We invite you to hold us accountable. Please email us your thoughts, comments, and suggestions.

The Team
Alejandra Valarino Boyer
Founder, Loud Laugher
|
Alejandra Valarino Boyer has been an opera administrator for 10 years and has been involved in opera for way longer. She is a Third Culture Kid: born in Puerto Rico and raised in a Puerto Rican/Venezuelan household in Orlando, FL. She fell into opera as a teen and found her passion at the intersection of opera and community engagement (from toddlers to seniors). Her love language is food and she really does love warm hugs. She can often be found with her husband, daughter, and dog eating doughnuts or exploring the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Or both. If you want the fancy version of her bio, connect with Alejandra on LinkedIn.
