Louise Musto-Choate Scholarship

Louise Musto-Choate was a multitalented artist and Medford resident who was deeply involved in the arts community. She was also one of the primary forces behind the formation of Arts Collaborative Medford (ACM). We have set up a scholarship fund in Louise’s memory to support an artist who needs financial assistance to afford studio space. Part of ACM's mission and the goal of this scholarship is to uplift and empower voices that can be overlooked due to inequitable power structures in our society. The right candidate will be an artist in a vulnerable financial position, seeking support to grow their practice. 

The LMC Scholarship Will Provide: 

A 60 sq foot studio space* for 12 months at no cost; 24/7 access to the building  

• An annual stipend of $350

• A place in the ACM community, to learn alongside other artists 

• Connection to mentorship and network contacts that are dependent on your artistic goals 

• The co-creation of a final capstone project of choice, designed with you to help meet a specific milestone

Please Note: *The studio space is located on the second floor, which is wheelchair accessible via lift
