The Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston is thrilled to commemorate a significant milestone – the 10th Anniversary of the Creative Entrepreneur Fellowship (CEF) – with an exhibition at City Hall in the Scollay Square Gallery, running from April 22 through May 31, 2024.

The Creative Entrepreneur Fellowship (CEF) is a professional development program designed to accelerate the careers and practice of BIPOC artists and creative solopreneurs. Candelaria Silva-Collins led the program for almost a decade, as its artist-centered champion. This year, Ileana Doble Hernandez leads the program, which is conducted for the first time in Spanish and serves a Spanish-speaking cohort.

This exhibition is a showcase of the Fellows and reflects the impact of the CEF fellowship on the professional growth of local artists. It presents an array of works from artists who have excelled in their respective fields and achieved recognition through prestigious awards, residencies, and grants. As such, the exhibition serves as a testament to the vibrant creative spirit that thrives within the Boston community. Join us in celebrating the artistry and achievements of our community’s makers and creatives!
