Open to All Creative Practitioners

The Community Exhibition Program grows Artisans Asylum’s role in Boston’s dynamic arts community by inviting participation from local artists to showcase innovation and excellence in fabrication, craft, and aesthetics.

Driven by A2 Membership

Community Exhibitions showcase our homegrown talent and give opportunities to Artisans Asylum membership, to showcase their creative output in a white-box gallery setting located on the A2 campus.

Ideated and Juried by our elected Gallery Panel

Show themes are decided by the gallery panel and reflect Gallery A2’s mission to showcase innovation and excellence in fabrication, craft, and aesthetics. Themes are open to interpretation, inviting participation from all modalities practiced at Artisan’s Asylum, including work that falls outside of traditional fine art gallery objects. Work will be selected from open-call submission by the gallery panel. A majority of the work selected is created b A2 members, with the remainder by outside artists.
