Whenever possible, we feature content straight from Massachusetts artists – the individuals at the core of this state’s vibrant creative life.
Artist to Artist
We bring together Massachusetts artists from various disciplines, in dialogue about issues integral to their work and life. It’s a chance to highlight the innovation of Massachusetts artists by exploring some of their shared ground.
