MassArt's Artward Bound Program
Introducing, a new program that the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) is developing called Artward Bound. Based on funding, MassArt plans to launch the program in June 2011. Artward Bound is a college access program in the visual arts for underserved, potential first-generation students attending Boston’s district, exam, pilot, parochial, and charter schools. The program prepares 8th-12th grade students who have expressed interest in the visual arts with the artistic and academic skills needed for admission to an art/design college or other post-secondary institution. A cohort of 30 rising 8th and 9th grade students will be accepted into Artward Bound for four years based on evidence of visual arts interest, academic record, teacher recommendations, an interview, and a creative arts exercise. After two years, a second cohort of 30 students will be recruited. The program will operate during the school year and also include a six (6) week summer session that incorporates art activities and helps build academic skills. Presently, we are in the midst of starting the student recruitment process. We are looking to recruit 15 students who will be entering the 8th grade, and 15 students who will be entering the 9th grade, in September 2011. We are reaching out to ask if you would kindly assist us in this effort by informing the current 7th and 8th grade students in your art classes about Artward Bound. We would also welcome the opportunity to visit your 7th and 8th grade classes to talk about Artward Bound and distribute application materials. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would be willing to have us visit your 7th and 8th grade art classes. Our contact information is as follows: Jennifer Kilson-Page jkilsonpage@gmail.com
