Each spring the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University conducts a portfolio scholarship competition—a juried competition in which portfolios are judged on their artistic merit by AIB faculty and/or other visual art professionals. The portfolio competition takes places at the end of the academic year.
 
Application Requirements
Applicants must be currently enrolled, full- or part-time matriculated AIB students who will be taking at least 6 credits in Fall 2010. Financial need is not necessary in order to enter the competition. All applicants must complete the registration form.
 
Portfolio Requirements
All portfolios should be limited to 10 pieces. Portfolios must represent original work initiated or completed during the 2009-2010 academic year. Each piece should be identified (either front or back) with your full name, major and grade level as of September 2009 (e.g. Foundation/Freshman; Illustration; Sophomore). The work must completely fit into a portfolio case onto which one copy of your registration form has been attached. Do no submit work that has been framed. 3-D entries must be photographed, in either slide or digital format.
 
Awards
A best AIB overall portfolio will be awarded a scholarship. Six portfolios will be chosen as best of the their departments and awarded scholarships. The awards are tuition reductions with half of the award given each semester of the 2010-2011 academic year. Half or part time students (taking 6-11 credits) will receive pro-rated awards. Students who have completed fewer than 6 credits, non-matriculating students, and recipients of full Presidential Scholarships are NOT ELIGIBLE for the Portfolio Scholarship Competition.

Drop Off
Drop off your work in room N220 on FRIDAY, MAY 7th. All work must be submitted by 5 pm.
 
Portfolio Pick up
Due to limited space and resources, portfolios cannot be stored at AIB for the summer.
Students MUST pick up work on May 14th in room N200/N210.
Reminder: 601 Newbury is card access only.

Artist Space Boston

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.
