CALL TO ARTISTS:
THE COMMUNITY ARTS INITIATIVE ARTIST PROJECT
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS 
The Artist Project is an annual collaboration between the Museum of Fine Arts and 12 after-school community organizations located in the Boston area. The selected artist and children from each partner organization create a collaborative work of art inspired by the MFA’s encyclopedic collection. The Artist Project also engages students with the Museum’s collection through a series of group visits culminating in the thematic exhibition conceived, designed, and led by the jury-selected artist.Typically, the selected artist guides and collaborates with children ages 6 to 12 to create a final exhibition on view during the summer after its completion. The completed project is exhibited in the Edward H. Linde Gallery in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the MFA.The MFA provides the selected artist a stipend of $25,000 and a budget of $5,000 for materials.
