EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAM 

The Emerging artist program was conceived to act as a stepping stone for an artist early in their career, into the professional art world of exhibiting and operating an artist run gallery.

The gallery will help an emerging artist show a body of new work in a professional setting. The emerging artist will be connected with experienced mentors who will educate them on the practical aspects of every day art gallery business. In addition, they will have the opportunity to voice their own vision and ideas about future goals for the gallery.

  • The gallery requires the emerging artist to attend monthly meetings, work with our marketing director and the marketing working group, and participate in other activities concerning the maintenance of the gallery.

  • The emerging artist will also be required to gallery sit once a month.

  • The gallery wants the emerging artist to establish some personal contacts with members, for example during studio visits.

  • The emerging artist should reside in the greater Boston area.

  • The initiation fee and monthly dues are waived.

  • By the end of the emerging artist's tenure the commitment to the gallery culminates in a one-person show in our Center Gallery.
