Praise Shadows Art Gallery and Boston Art Review are partnering to present the 2025 Boston Art Writing Fellowship. The program supports two individuals based in Boston between the ages of 18–21 who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the city’s contemporary art community through hands-on experience writing reviews, artist interviews, and exhibition texts while deepening their understanding of the operations behind a commercial gallery. This fellowship is not a traditional internship, but rather a curriculum-based program with learning at the center.
