Written by Rachael Dubinsky
For over 40 years, MassArt New England has been one of the nation’s top summer residency programs, bringing together professional artists and designers for an intensive, community-focused artmaking experience. Now based on the MassArt campus, the program offers participants expanded resources, specialized studio spaces, and direct access to Boston’s dynamic arts scene, fostering an environment where creativity and collaboration thrive.
Built on the understanding that time and focus for creative work are rare and precious, this program fosters a supportive environment where serious studio art enthusiasts can connect with like-minded peers, learn from expert faculty, and pursue innovative projects.
As the country’s first freestanding public independent college of art and design, MassArt has a wealth of resources and opportunities for exploration, inspiration, and creative pursuits. Classes offered at MassArt New England include Drawing with Thread, Sculpting with Paper Clay Over Wire, The Head Examined (painting), and many more.
“Spending the day in dedicated studios, working side by side in a community of peers is an amazing opportunity and an unforgettable experience” said Dean of Graduate, Professional and Continuing Education Mariah Doren. “Whether you have been coming for years or are joining for the first time- MassArt New England is the place where artists gather and grow.”
MassArt New England participants spend full days in the studio with faculty and peers. Evenings are spent at artist talks, drawing live models, visiting historic, world-class museums, or doing independent studio work. In fact, the MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts are just a stone’s throw away from campus.
“It was wonderful to be back in a working community of fellow artists, to share ideas and responses, and to have support for my work,” shared MassArt New England participant Sue Klau.
Whether refining your craft, exploring new artistic directions, or immersing yourself in a dynamic creative community, this residency offers an unparalleled opportunity for growth and inspiration. Learn more at massart.edu/massart-new-england.
