Artward Bound is a free four-year college access program that prepares 9-12th grade Boston-area students interested in art and design with the artistic, academic, and life skills needed to thrive in college and beyond. Amazing FREE opportunity to build your skills at MassArt. 

Summer Intensives in Art and Design offers high school students serious about fine art and design the opportunity to develop technical skills and build studio practice. Studio choices are available in both fine art and design, and include a number of full-day design and media-focused studios. Students also have an opportunity to develop work for their portfolio. 

The nature of the program is that of a rigorous art school, with students engaging in individual and group critiques. The program meets Monday through Friday for two weeks. Students have the option to attend a morning or afternoon studio only, attend two different studios during the morning and afternoon, or attend a full-day design and media studio.

​

Scholarships available. GREAT program if you are thinking of applying to art schools and need a portfolio. 

Urbano brings together professional artists, local youth, and community members to learn and experiment through place-based projects. We promote the model of the artist as citizen, actively engaged in conversations with our surrounding community through the lens of contemporary art. We support youth to become civicly engaged artists as they are challenged to tackle current social issues in their community that directly affect their lives.
