BOSTON – Three Hub artists from a mix of disciplines will receive $20,000 stipends to work with Boston agencies and civic groups on arts projects as the city's first artists in residence, Mayor Marty Walsh announced Tuesday.
The awards will fund six months of collaborative work for each of the recipients, L'Merchie Frazier, Georgie Friedman and Shaw Pong Liu. They will each work with a city department and other organizations on "creative approaches that can be incorporated into the work of the city," Walsh's office said in a statement about the program, called Boston AIR.
BOSTON – A group of about 40 women and a few scattered men sat around modern white tables at the C-Space at 290 Congress Street in downtown Boston on a recent rainy night. The crowd, ranging in age from early 20s to 50s, came prepared with a number of questions to ask author Jon Birger.
"So what's the deal with Boston?" asked a young professional woman. "I imagine it is very similar to Manhattan."
