SOMERVILLE ARTIST OF THE MONTH - January 7, 2013
Somerville Arts Council launches its new series: "Artist of the Month"
On January 7th, 2013, the Somerville Arts Council will announce its first Artist of the Month.
---About the new program---
This new series will feature a different creative Somervillian each month –- painters, poets, pianists, you name it! The program is a way for us to celebrate the enormous wealth of talent in our city, by shining a spotlight on a different creative Somervillian on a regular basis.
We’ll feature an interview with the Artist of the Month on our website, as well as images of their work. Each new artist will be announced on the first Monday of each month. And in December, we will have a public event to honor all 12 artists featured in 2013.
---How artists are chosen---
All artists who will be part of this program live or work in Somerville, MA. They were chosen by a panel from a list of nominees; many of the artists were nominated by the Somerville community through the Arts Council’s website.

---Contact and other information---
This program is put together by Coordinators Jenn Harrington and Kellie Veiga, and Arts Council board member Tim Devin. It's inspired by the Nave Gallery's "Featured Artist" program, which ran from 2005 to 2009.
