“That is the power of art, that it's like an alchemy. Visual artist Daniel Callahan, one of The Makers, sums it up well. These individuals allowed us into their studios and creative spaces - from a wood-working shop in Roxbury to a paint-spattered studio in Lynn to a vibrant park in Chinatown - sharing an intimate look into the way they create their work and their sources of inspiration. With the help of an advisory panel comprised of members from last year’s cohort of artists - Amanda Shea, Yara Liceaga-Rojas, Kadahj Bennett and Pascale Florestal - we selected the artists who have reached a point in their practice where they’re not only making waves, they’re elevating all of those around them. We deliberated for months to whittle the list down. The Makers were selected from over 140 nominations submitted from our audience, Instagram and Twitter followers, newsletter subscribers and beyond. This year, we asked you who we should highlight. Around Greater Boston, there are artists who create such stunning work that they push their respective mediums forward.įor the third time, WBUR is excited to present The Makers: 15 artists of color leaving an imprint on Massachusetts.
