Permanent Affordable Work-Live Studios for Artists
Fundamental to the arts in Boston is a place for artists to work and live. That place is Midway Artist Studios, 89 work-live studios located in Fort Point in Boston, just a short walk from South Station.
As Boston’s largest affordable work-live building, Midway Artist Studios was established in 2005 as a place for artists to work and live affordably in Boston, when the real estate boom swept through Fort Point and displaced hundreds of working artists. Midway Artist Studios is unique and pivotal as the only remaining artist rental building in Fort Point.
Artists at Midway work in Photography, Dance & Choreography, Performance, Drawing, Installation Art, Filmmaking, Ceramics, Fashion, Glassblowing, Mixed Media (2D), Design, Folk & Traditional Arts, Digital Art & 3D Modeling, Compositing & Virtual Production, Interdisciplinary arts, Circus Arts, Craft, Literature, Media Arts, Jewelry, Mixed media and graphic design, Motion Graphics & Visual Effects, Music (many genres; folk, acoustic, hip hop, classical), Musical instrument construction, Musical Theater, Opera, Painting, Fibers, Furniture making, Printmaking, Public Art & Installations, Quilting & Crafts, Screenwriting, Sculpture, Textiles & Fibers, Theater, Videographers, Visual and performing artist, Woodworking, Writing, Poetry
The rental model allows emerging artists a place to stay and work in Boston, and artists from around the world to come and work in Boston. It encourages the free flow of ideas between disciplines and generations.
In 2014, the artists organized to purchase the building, making it a permanent rental artist-controlled building, run by a board of directors, elected in part by the artist residents themselves.
Resident Elected Board of Directors:
Raber Umphenour
Kristen Mallia Christina Pazzanese Jacob Higginbottom
