The Office of Arts and Culture recently announced the second round of applications for the Boston Cultural Council Opportunity Fund. The grant supports meaningful, one-time opportunities for artists to further develop their career. The grant also expands the reach of arts opportunities in Boston's communities.

You'll have your questions answered by the Artist Resource Manager. This event is generously hosted by the Mattapan Branch of the Boston Public Library. The deadline for the next round of application review following this workshop is February 28.

This exhibit features projects led by former Boston AIR artist Rashin Fahandej. They explore the issues of “access” and “equality." Rashin's projects focused on a critique of incarceration policies and their racial imbalances. The projects used various media and they celebrate the power of groups to create social change. 

A Father’s Lullaby highlights the role of men raising children. It also underlines the absence of fathers due to the racial disparities of mass incarceration. This project invites the community to record their voices, share their ideas, and sing a lullaby to raise awareness for this issue. They're asked to imagine policies that are based on support and not criminalization.

This exhibition invites the community to share their stories in recorded conversations with Rashin (during tea hours) at IBA Boston on the following dates: 

• Monday Dec 11, 2017, from 1 - 5 p.m.
• Monday Dec 18, 2017, from 1 - 5 p.m.
• Artist Talk: Friday Dec 8, 2017, 6:30 p.m.
