Three Greater Boston artists receive $75,000 awards
WBUR covers the 2026 Wagner Arts Fellowship announcement, highlighting the three Boston-area artists, Tomashi Jackson, Lucy Kim, and Yu-Wen Wu, and the mission behind the fellowship.
Operating in the US, Africa, Latin America, and Haiti, these organizations are working to improve health equity by strengthening healthcare systems and tackling the underlying social drivers that impact health, foster inclusive economies that provide everyone with the opportunity to achieve economic wellbeing, and nurture a contemporary visual arts ecosystem that cultivates empathy, healing, and a more caring and healthy society.
We are privileged to accompany these organizations on the front lines of social change and champion their work.
