The Eliot School Artist in Residence program engages a Boston-based artist each year to work closely with a group of art-passionate teens, from our Teen Bridge Program, to produce a body of public art with thoughtful community engagement at its core. Teen Bridge is a year-round, multi-year program combining art education and experience, life skills, mentorship, job training, and employment, for student artists in our community-based programs.

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.

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.
