A group of students is gathered around a table, immersed in an art education project. A woman in a striped sweater leans over, pointing at one of the drawings. Papers and art supplies are scattered across the wooden table, fueling their creative collaboration.

Our Art Education program prepares students to be skillful, imaginative, and socially engaged artist educators driven by justice and equity.

MassArt was founded on a deep understanding of the important role of art educators in preparing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators. 

We celebrate our urban context and our historical partnership with the Boston Public Schools. We prioritize justice and equity while emphasizing engaged creative studio practice, social activism, and expansive scholarly work.

We prepare our students to be generous, resourceful, and reflective practitioners who catalyze inclusive, activist learning for all, across educational contexts and environments.

Two people are immersed in art education at a classroom table. One cuts green paper while the other focuses on their project. Supplies, glue, and cutting mats are scattered around as a chalkboard looms in the background. Both appear engaged and dedicated to their creative endeavors.
