Ambassadors of what it means to be an Artist…For Humanity.

Artists for Humanity (AFH) is a Boston based nonprofit providing under-resourced teens the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in art and design. In April 2023, with support from the Rappaport Foundation, AFH launched the AFH Artists Fellowship program with five Boston based artists. The program offers mentorship, community and a public platform for local artists. The Fellows will work in parallel with AFH’s Youth Arts Enterprise while also sharing their journey and process with AFH teens.

“Our Fellows came in as teens or mentors. They were active in creating what AFH is, and then went out into the world as alumni. Now they have accepted our invitation to build a Fellowship and become ambassadors of what it means to be an Artist…For Humanity.”
