Since 2023, three fully funded Game Development Summer Workshops for local high-school students, featuring field trips, professional development talks, and hands-on game creation.
The summer Game Development 2025 workshop resulted in three teens’ games being showcased in a professional gallery exhibition.
Continued support of student-run college shows such as Fresh Media (MassArt/Berklee), Spark* (Northeastern), and Education in the Museum Space (Northeastern).
A commitment to offering students professional space, equipment, and mentorship to debut new work.

Collaborated on Public Processes with the Boston Public Art Triennial.
Ongoing collaboration with events like WaveForms, and organizers such as Alpha 60 and Transporter.
Co-presented the Boston Immersive Music Festival with Bill Sebastian, receiving coverage on WBUR.
Launched CyberFrames, a game-themed window series curated by new Gallery Director Valerie Guinn Polgar, followed by her second curated show, Stationed: A Response to a Climate of Restraint. These overlapping exhibits featured work by 50+ local and international artists, bringing new collaborators and audiences to the gallery.

Why your support matters
Boston Cyberarts operates without a private funding agency. We rely on a mix of state support, foundation funding, and — most critically — the generosity of our community.
Your support sustains innovative, experimental art in Boston & ensures that future generations of creators have a place to learn, experiment, and grow.
Do you have fond memories of Boston Cyberarts festival, exhibits, events, or public art projects, such as Art on the Marquee or the Greenway AR sculptures?
Did George Fifield or Boston Cyberarts help support you as an artist or curator?
Do you want to see new and emerging works exhibited in a free space?
Or any other reason you can think of?
If you said YES to any of the above - we invite you to make a contribution!
