Urbano’s arts, media, and performance programs for urban teens offer mentorship from adult artists, college-level arts instruction, and opportunities to present finished works to the public in a professional gallery space. All youth arts programming is offered free of charge to Boston-area public high school students.
Collaborations between professional artists and urban teens result in imaginative contemporary exhibitions of art and performance in Urbano’s gallery space. Urbano challenges teen and adult artists to create large-scale works that invite engagement and participation from the diverse communities beyond the walls of our studio.
Partnerships with local, national, and international arts organizations offer Urbano’s teen and adult artists opportunities to participate in innovative, collaborative projects that foster synergy with artists and community members worldwide through digital media, public art and performance, and trans-disciplinary creation.
