MassArt Common Good Awards, established as part of the College's 150th anniversary year, will honor a group of individuals and/or organizations that exemplify public practice in the arts.

These awards will celebrate the integration of arts and culture in civic life, honoring those who push boundaries in advocacy, teaching, placemaking, and creation, emphasizing the arts' public influence on problem-solving and quality of life.

As the nation's first and only independent public college of art and design, MassArt has been a catalyst for envisioning the role of art, culture, and design in all aspects of life. We look forward to celebrating the contributions of individuals from across the Commonwealth and beyond.
