"Our main directive is to provide direct access to funding, exhibition spaces, and opportunities to Lesley University, Clark University, and Art Institute of Boston MFA graduates. Our ethos is that art is already everywhere. Artists are everywhere. Spaces are everywhere. And, yes, even money, and financing, is everywhere. We, the MFA grads, are already a body that is made up of literally thousands of actual hands and eyes. And each eye can already see what needs to be done, and each hand already knows how to reach out and help. This is a great body of compassion, that presently exists throughout the world. It reaches into the past, encompasses the present, and stretches out to the future graduating classes. It can act as a direct funnel to exhibition spaces and opportunities for all of us. It is Art+Everywhere’s job to help activate this body, and to aid in relieving our needs as artists and individuals."
