Eventworks is a group of students who produce events throughout the year culminating in an annual month-long festival of multimedia and performing arts run by students of the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) at MassArt. SIM students run all aspects of the production: curating, directing the technical operations, generating and maintaining mailing lists, and creating publicity.
In 1977, SIM students conceived of and held the first Eventworks, then an international festival of film and music. It was founded to provide venues for new experimental works and to create a link between the college environment and the professional art world. In the years since, Eventworks has presented over three hundred artists working in music, installation, film, video, performance, dance, sound, spoken word, and more. Eventworks produces events in spaces and places within the MassArt campus as well as in theaters, galleries, and cultural centers throughout the metro-Boston area. Each year’s festival reflects the themes and personalities that emerge from the production team and is always new!
