The Artist Project is a collaboration between an experienced artist, the Museum of Fine Arts, and ten after school community organizations in the Boston area. The program is designed to engage children in the art-making process under the guidance of an artist. Drawing inspiration from the MFA’s collection, the selected artist will plan and lead an art project with children between the ages of six and twelve.

This is an opportunity worth up to $2,000 to attend a two-week summer residency of your choice at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts. The recipient will be selected by the Artaxis Fellowship Selection Committee, which consists of Ayumi Horie, Roberto Lugo, and Amy Santoferraro.

To be eligible, you have to be in financial need, at least 18 years old, and have a nomination from one of the artists on the Artaxis website.

Applications must be submitted through the website by February 12th.
