We're looking for our 2028 Artist in Residence and encourage all artists in the Greater Boston area to apply. The selected artist will engage talented artists from our Teen Bridge Program in a public art project grounded in community engagement.
Amy Hitchcock has been teaching Eliot School students paper arts and assemblage since 2009. In this month's Community Spotlight, we talked to her about how the school welcomed and empowered her as an educator, and what keeps her coming back today.
An alum of the Eliot School children’s sewing class, Takeiya Perry is a practicing fashion designer, showing her collections in Boston Fashion Week and local galleries.
Her children now take sewing classes at the Eliot School with Carol Price.
Over 20 years ago Takeiya was able to receive the same basic sewing instruction that allowed her to discover who she is—to become the emerging fashion designer she is today. Her early connection with craftsmanship empowered her to dream, to take a chance; today her children have the same opportunity.
