The Artist’s Resource Center (ARC) provides
access to the arts and cultural communities, the world of education, and the
sphere of business through special courses, internships,
and civic engagement in the arts.
ARC courses introduce career-related concepts, such as the realities of life
as a working artist and business skills. You may also participate in an
internship for credit or work in partnership with Boston area youth in a public
art project as part of your studio art curriculum.

| The role of the artist in society is forever expanding. Can art transform lives, change people's viewpoints, or affect public policy? Are there different aesthetics for art with a social or political message? In this course students will explore and create visual art for positive social change. You will create your own work with social, political, community-based, and/or activist content in your chosen mediums. Collaboration between students and/or with community members will be encouraged, as well as individual projects. We will view slides and video clips of work by contemporary artists that address issues such as the environment, racial and cultural identity, immigration, human rights, healthcare, consumerism, and politics. We will compare work and outcomes by artists addressing similar issues, and discuss the aesthetic implications and challenges of art that straddles the realms of the political, social, or cultural spheres. |
