Allston Village Main Streets is proud to announce the creation of the Allston Public Art Fund, which will fund Allston public art projects up to $3,000.  Applications for the Public Art Fund will be accepted on a rolling basis. 

Process:

• Artists who qualify will fill out the public art fund RFP form and attach a project proposal, budget, timeline and conceptual design/program schedule.

• Certain public art projects will need approval from the City of Boston. AVMS can work with artists on this process if needed.

• Selections will be made by AVMS’ Neighborhood Beautification Committee.

• Artists will be notified if and when they are selected, and asked for additional plans for implementation of their projects.

Eligibility:

• This grant fund is only intended for public art projects that are either publicly located in Allston, or that provide a free benefit to residents, workers, and stakeholders of Allston.

• Artists must be a resident of the Greater Boston area and must be at least 18 years of age.

• Artists who live or who have lived in Allston will be given priority. 

Project Award:

Approved artists will be asked to present their projects to AVMS’ board of directors for final approval of project and budget. Artists will then receive requested funds in 2 segments, 50% deposit before the project begins, and 50% upon completion.
