Join Us for a Community Voices Writing Workshop!
Stop by Boston Art Review’s office during the Boston Art Book Fair to share your ideas and take part in our Un-monument initiative!
As part of our ongoing collaboration with the City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, we’re inviting community members of all ages and backgrounds to contribute to our Community Voices open call, which explores how we remember, commemorate, and shape the places around us.
Whether you have a fully formed idea or are just getting started, join us to brainstorm, discuss your perspective, workshop an idea, or draft a response to one of our short-form writing prompts. Topics include local landmarks and gathering places, community memory, public art and monuments, civic participation, and the future of commemoration.
No prior writing or publishing experience is necessary! Responses should be 300 words or less. Selected submissions will be included in a forthcoming publication, and contributors will receive a $150 honorarium.
Attending the Boston Art Book Fair? We’re right next door! Just head upstairs to our office in the BCA Studio Building. No registration is required, and you’re welcome to drop in at any point during the workshop.
Can’t attend? Pick up a submission sheet at the Boston Art Review table during the fair, or submit your response online.
