The
Boston Young
Contemporaries is
an exhibition that was
first conceptualized and
developed by a group of
graduate students in painting at
Boston University in 2006 and was
the first ever of its kind and scope in
Boston. The 2007 show included 90 artists
and 161 works in painting, sculpture,
photography, video, printmaking and installation
art. The goal of the show is to provide an arena
for New England MFA candidates to display their
work and promote themselves within the Boston
and greater art community.
Submissions to the BYC are accepted from
certificate post-bac programs and MFA
students from School of the Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston, University of
Massachusetts, Dartmouth, Boston
University, The Art Institute of Boston,
Massachusetts College of Art, University
of Massachusetts, Amherst, Johnson State
College, University of New Hampshire,
Union Institute and University, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island School of Design,
Maine College of Art and Yale University.
The three juror panel consists of artists,
critics, and curators that are active in the
larger art world. The show is held at the
808 Commonwealth Gallery at Boston
University.
