“The Wagner Foundation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has launched the Wagner Arts Fellowship, awarding three Boston-based artists—L’Merchie Frazier, Daniela Rivera, and Wen-ti Tsen—for their contributions to the local arts community. The recipients will be honored at an inaugural ceremony on May 22, coinciding with the Boston Public Art Triennial.

Each fellowship recipient will be awarded an unrestricted $75,000 grant and access to tailored artist support services, including career consulting, legal advice, and financial planning. Beyond the monetary support, the artists will showcase their work at the MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), as part of an exhibition titled “GENERATIONS” organized by the Wagner Foundation.”
