The Harvard Ed Portal’s Artist Pipeline Program is for artists across diverse backgrounds and mediums who live and/or work in the Allston-Brighton neighborhood and are at a threshold in their career. Participants spend approximately 12 hours per month (January–June 2026) learning independently, with industry experts, and in a small cohort of peers mentored by Ed Portal staff and outside co-facilitators. Upon completion, they have up to a year to complete a project or paid engagement opportunity of their choosing at Harvard with support from the Ed Portal (by June 2027).
