Program areas at Boston Art Review
The organization produced two print publications dedicated to looking back and looking ahead. Issue 10 catalogues overlooked stories from Boston's art scene, from Indigenous histories to untold stories of Boston's queer scenes. In Issue 11: Emerge, we focused on looking ahead. A section of the publication was dedicated to new writers edited by our emerging art writing fellows. The publication is distributed across New England to an audience of students, artists, scholars, and community members.
Presented in partnership with Praise Shadows Art Gallery, the program is designed to support young writers ages 18-21 who are based in Boston and interested in expanding their knowledge of the city's contemporary art community. During the paid program, fellows are given the opportunity to learn from leaders within the publishing and gallery field through a series of workshops before gaining hands-on experience writing articles, conducting artist interviews, and authoring exhibition texts. The program is the only one of its kind in the country.
The organization was commissioned by Isenberg Projects to curate and produce two temporary exhibitions inside a downtown public space. We commissioned work by two artists and created 8 workshops and programs that were free and open to all with events specific to younger audiences.
