“SMFA Traveling Scholars” at the Museum of Fine Arts
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 - SUNDAY, MARCH 2
We can see how, as an artist, one might benefit from a change of scenery. Luckily for six talented up-and-comers, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) provides the requisite cash with its annual Traveling Scholarships, totaling $80,000 to $100,000 each year. (The SMFA has been handing out the scholarships since 1899 in one of the largest art-school grant programs in the US.) An exhibition of work from the 2006 recipients, "SMFA Traveling Scholars," is on display at the Foster Gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, 617.267.9300). A varied collection that includes photography, video, and painting, the exhibit features work from three SMFA alumni winners and three artists chosen from the school's Fifth Year Certificate program.
