ALEXANDRA ADAMO
Multimedia maker, creative instructor,
experience-facilitator and public artist-about-town.
Photography and collaboration form the foundation for Alexandra Adamo's creative life, and her time as an educational assistant for the International Center of Photography in NYC provided formative experience. After resettling in Boston to experience fine art classes at Lesley University College of Art and Design, Alex spent years as an after school teacher for Cambridge Public Schools, honing her aptitude for classroom resourcefulness and approach to making artwork accessible for all. Her free hours were spent facilitating creative community events and teaching one-on-one art lessons for the youngsters of greater Boston.
When the pandemic came, Alex knew that fulfilling, empowering, family-oriented creative programming was as needed as ever, and Alex Makes Art took flight. Early AMA offerings included Crafternoons on Zoom, Summer Art Virtual Immersion, and backyard art pods. As life started to come back online — or offline — in fits and starts, Alex Makes Art kept evolving. Alex's pivot towards public access programming has been marked by a focus on large-scale interactive experiences for venues including her 2022-23 Exhibition “From Farm to Craft Table” at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MIT Open Space & Harvard Common Space Programming, seasons of chalk pop-ups for the Revere Office of Travel & Tourism; and public art commissions painted in her own hand.
