Show Notes
Three Boston artists - Tomashi Jackson, Lucy Kim, and Yu-Wen Wu - secure the 2026 Wagner Arts Fellowship, each receiving $75,000 to boost their practices. This unrestricted funding supports mid-career creators committed to Bostons arts scene and socially engaged work. The artists, while appreciative of the citys growing supportive art community, also face challenges like high living costs and unstable studio spaces amid national arts funding cuts. Wu plans to hire studio help and buy equipment, Jackson aims to host workshops and acquire essential tools, and Kim will cover materials for her vision and biology-based pieces exploring social hierarchies. This fellowship underscores Bostons commitment to nurturing local talent and enriching its cultural landscape.
