The Museum of Fine Arts’ 150th anniversary celebration showcases the artistic and curatorial talents of young scholars from several local youth empowerment organizations. Over the last year these young creators learned the skill of art curation and now their work is showcased in a new art show called “Black Histories, Black Futures."
The show features the work of artists of color from the museum's collection, reframed through the vision of some of Boston’s teens of color .
