Since 2021, Thomas Brown Communications has proudly collaborated with Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) to amplify the institution’s legacy of fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural impact. From 2021 through 2025, our strategic public relations and communications work encompassed both the college and the MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), highlighting MassArt’s extraordinary programs, student and alumni achievements, exhibitions, and contributions to the arts and design fields locally and nationally. In 2026, our work has evolved to focus specifically on public relations and media strategy for MAAM, Boston’s only free contemporary art museum and a vital cultural destination. As part of our broader work with MassArt, we also spearheaded the publicity campaign surrounding alumna Karen Frostig’s presentation to the 2023 United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
Founded in 1873 as the first freestanding public college of art and design in the United States, MassArt has consistently championed the transformative power of art and design education. Located in the heart of Boston’s vibrant Avenue of the Arts, the college offers a comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs, certificates, and continuing education courses led by distinguished faculty. Its nearly one million square feet of campus space includes studios, classrooms, and exhibition venues that foster a dynamic and collaborative environment for art and design education.
The MassArt Art Museum is integral to this cultural ecosystem, serving as both a teaching resource and a leading destination for contemporary art in Boston. As a kunsthalle, MAAM presents temporary exhibitions by emerging and established contemporary artists, bringing new artistic perspectives and ideas to audiences across Boston and beyond.
