Craft Schools: Boston Nexus

Join us for our next conversation on craft during Boston Design Week, on May 2nd via zoom.⁠

Boston is a city admired as a nexus of craft. A network of craft schools holds this rich history, supports its current dynamism, and pioneers its future possibilities. These sites of knowledge transfer have long been places that embody educational idealism, and where art, craft, home, and industry converge.

Join MFA curator Michelle Millar Fisher as she moderates a conversation with:

Dr. Mary K. Grant, President of Massachusetts College of Art and Design,

Sarah Turner, President of North Bennet Street School

Alison Croney Moses, Associate Director of Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts

With respondent Dr. Juliana Rowen Barton, Director of Center for the Arts at Northeastern University.

This conversation is hosted by the city’s oldest craft education site, Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts and is supported by Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.

Join us to celebrate the culmination of the GoFive's and TakeOne's residency with an opening reception for "Feel the Flow" on view at the Piano Craft Gallery, August 5 - 28. The show features work created by our Teen Bridge students and inspired by the residency. Come for exciting new youth art, good conversation, and light refreshments. Admission is free, but please register so we will know you are coming. This is an excellent opportunity for friends and supporters of the Teen Bridge and Artist in Resident programs to see the latest creations from this dynamic group of young adults.

How do we shape the spaces that shape us? The 2022 Eliot School Artist in Residence Project—“Spaces of Belonging”— explores this question by engaging Teen Bridge artists, students from English High School, and members of the surrounding community in the process of planning and creating a public mural at The English High School in Jamaica Plain. The exhibition at Piano Craft Gallery provides a insider look into the process of creating the mural that was installed on English High School's campus as part of the residency. The exhibition also showcases the artwork that demonstrates the artists' growth.

Teen Bridge and Artist in Residence program are made possible through the generous support of The Adelard A. and Valeda Lea Roy Foundation, Boston Private Industry Council, BPS Arts Expansion Fund at EdVestors, City of Boston Department of Youth Engagement & Employment, Deborah Munroe Noonan Memorial Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, The Joe Kalt & Judy Gans Family Foundation, Linde Family Foundation, Maureen and David Moses Family, National Endowment for the Arts, New England Foundation for the Art’s Public Art for Spatial Justice program, with generous support from the Barr Foundation, New World Foundation, general support from Mass Cultural Council, and individual donors.

Teen Bridge and Artist in Residence are also funded in part by Boston Public Schools (BPS) Arts Expansion, a multi-year effort focusing on access, equity, and quality arts learning for BPS students. The BPS Arts Expansion Fund, managed by EdVestors, is supported by the Barr Foundation, The Boston Foundation, Katie and Paul Buttenwieser, The Klarman Family Foundation, Linde Family Foundation, and other individuals. BPS Arts Expansion is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
