Artist Space Boston covers a broad range of local art news,
events, projects and opportunities happening in and around the Boston
area. Be sure to check out their
"Call to Artists" section which is
updated often with current artist opportunities and competitions.
Artists help make Boston a more livable city – a city of people and
neighborhoods, a center of cultural life, and a vital economic center.
They function as small businesses by providing jobs and services for
Boston residents. Since the late 1960s, artists have helped transform
marginal neighborhoods into dynamic communities. Frequently, festivals,
galleries, small performance spaces and small retail spring up in these
same areas through the work of resident artists, generating a vibrant
street life that acts as a deterrent to crime, dramatically enhancing
the quality of neighborhoods for both the people who live there and
people who visit. [via
