Opportunities for MassArt Faculty

Classroom-Community Collaborations
Classroom-Community Collaborations are led by MassArt faculty members who wish to implement community-based projects as part of course curricula. The Center works with faculty and local organizations to match student expertise and course objectives to needs identified by community members, secure funding as necessary, and provide technical support and project evaluation. The Center funds between one and three Classroom-Community Collaborations per semester, and will work with interested faculty members to develop ideas and identify partners.

SPARRING PARTNERS Window Gallery at 635 Huntington Ave
635 Huntington Avenue was the site of Sparr’s Drugstore from 1936 until 2002, when Arthur Sparr sold the space to Harvard Medical School (HMS). In 2005 HMS invited Mission Hill Main Streets, MassArt, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston to collaboratively conceptualize and administer a gallery space in the windows of 635 Huntington Ave. Throughout the year representatives from the partner institutions issue calls for art, jury submitted work, and coordinate installation of shows by community artists and students from both schools.

Faculty members are encouraged to submit proposals for shows of student work in Sparring Partners. Collaborative shows with other schools or local organizations are preferred, and creative use of the window spaces is encouraged!
