Exhibition Opportunities

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.

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