Our Workshops
Our Mission
Shepherd & Maudsleigh Studio’s mission is to to create a space that supports the development and expression of artists, to provide a unique creative environment for visual artists that reflects the Greater Boston area’s diversity of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
Our focus is to create a space that supports the development and expression of artists of any race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual orientation. Shepherd & Maudsleigh Studios works to bring visual arts into the broader community through free programming at events throughout the Greater Boston Area.
We are committed to making our studios accessible to visual artists in all stages of their careers through the Printmaking Technician program offering, which offers subsidized or free access to the studio as well as through an Artist Residency Program that is offered through the Boston Printmakers Biennial.
