Analesa Baraka joined our Advisory Council in April 2024 after becoming involved with the Eliot School as a donor to our Paula J. Smith Scholarship. We talked with her for our February Community Spotlight about why she believes in our mission and what led her to take a greater part in the Eliot School leadership.

Erin O’Fallon has sent all three of her children to the Eliot School’s Summer Program for Children. For our January Community Spotlight, we spoke with Erin and her daughters, Ellie and Lucia, about their experiences at the Eliot School and why they continued to come back summer after summer.

We have a new look, a new logo, and a whole new attitude for 2026! Why are we making this change now, especially as one of the oldest continuously operating schools in the country? Our previous logo was beloved by many, but it wasn’t always doing us any favors when it came to clearly communicating who we are and what we do at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts. So we decided that our 350th anniversary was the perfect time to create a logo that better reflects what makes this place so special.

Judy Bigby has been part of the Eliot School community as a neighbor, student, and dedicated supporter of our mission. We talked to her for our November Community Spotlight about what has connected her to the Eliot School and why she thinks we are worthy of support right now.

Julia Citrin took a spoon carving class with us earlier this year, and can't wait to come back for another one. We talked to her for our October Community Spotlight about what led her to take a class at the Eliot School and what she gained from her experience with us.

Youth instructor, Lupe Campos is an interdisciplinary artist who teaches youth visual art and woodworking at our Summer Program for Children and in our School & Community Partnerships. We sat down with them for this month’s Community Spotlight to learn more about their experiences teaching young artists through different Eliot School programs. 

We're looking for our 2027 Artist in Residence, and encourage all artists in the Greater Boston area to apply. The selected artist will collaborate with talented artists from our Teen Bridge Program to create public art with thoughtful community engagement at its core.
