| Introduction | Artward Bound is a four-year college access program in the visual arts, designed for underserved, potential first generation students who live and go to school in Boston. Artward Bound helps prepare 8th – 12th grade students interested in the visual arts with the artistic and academic skills needed for admission to and success at an art/design college or other post-secondary institution. Students enrolling in the program are expected to participate through their senior year in high school. Students in Artward Bound begin with a six-week summer session that includes intensive art and academic programs based on the campus of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt). During the school year, students participate in art classes and other activities including visits to museums and studios, academic tutoring, and life skills workshops. Program activities primarily take place at MassArt, for the first two years, after which students may participate in other affiliated art programs throughout the city. |
