The Urbano Project needs your help. Give today to show your support of youth and the arts! #GIVINGTUESDAY #linkinbio The Urbano Project seeks to foster a philosophy of artistic expansiveness, supporting works that blur boundaries between art and lived experience. Through artistic collaboration, participating teens and adults are challenged to create works that take place both within institutional spaces and in the community beyond the walls of the studio. Urbano’s studio and gallery house a creative community which privileges artistic discovery and experimentation while at the same time supporting the creation of diverse, conceptually sophisticated works of art, performance, media, and design. "I like my classes, I like my teachers, I enjoy coming to Urbano, it is a great welcoming comfortable setting. I learn new things about poetry, lyricism, art, audio, video production every time I attend Urbano. I get to sit there, open my mind and express myself through art. It’s a great feeling being productive and creating pieces of art that people admire. I really like Urbano, great staff too.” - Marc Anthony, Current Urbano Student #bosarts #bostoncreates #youtharts #socialjustice #givingseason (at The Urbano Project)
