Urbano Project is a Massachusetts-based organization that engages urban teens, professional artists, and the broader community in participatory contemporary art and performance. Its work centers on collaborative, publicly accessible projects that mix media and disciplines to explore social change, drawing on current events, popular culture, and participants’ life experiences. The organization operates within the artists and writers field, collaborating with high school students in studio and gallery settings to develop interactive works that invite audience participation and dialogue. Based in Jamaica Plain, it positions itself as a facilitator of community-driven art initiatives, offering a bridge between youth, professional practice, and public engagement. A notable recent development involves hosting bilingual, salon-style gatherings as part of its programming in collaboration with community spaces in the local Brewery Complex area.
