Early Registration Opportunity for JP-Based Artists (New for 2025!)
JP-Based Artist Early Registration will take place online, Sunday, May 18, 7pm-9pm. This year, artists who live or work in JP will have the opportunity to register early, before registration opens to the general public. If you live or work in JP, you will be required to provide your JP home address, studio or place of employment address and business name when registering. The JP early registration window will be open on May 18 from 7-9pm only; following this it will re-open to the general public at 7pm on May 20. We are piloting this for 2025 based on feedback from numerous artists who completed our annual survey, and in ongoing discussions during our monthly open board meetings.

JPOS 2025 Registration Fees (*)
Individual Studio/Business Artist- $110 ($90 JP resident)
JPOS Group Site Artist- $200 ($150 JP resident) – see list of group site locations below
(*) Fees will remain the same again for JPOS 2025.  JPAC acknowledges the increasing financial pressures artists face with rising inflation and Boston area cost of living. Because of this, we have not increased non-resident registration fees in 9 years, and JP resident fees in over 10 years. Registration fees, along with sponsorships and fundraising, allow JPAC to cover the costs of the JPOS map, outreach materials, JPAC organizational operations, and workshops.

Need-Based Financial Assistance
We offer needs-based assistance to artists for whom these rates pose a challenge. (Please review the information before registration opens to find out how to access this resource.) We are grateful to the volunteers and generous sponsors that make this possible.

Available JPOS Group Site Locations for 2025

  • First UU Church (outside and inside)
  • Loring Greenough House (outside)
  • First Baptist Church (outside)
  • Curtis Hall (outside)

Individual Studios, Private Shared Sites and Local Businesses
Please contact us if you are looking to open up your space to a fellow artist, or are an artist looking for available space. Artists showing in private spaces and business locations are still required to register. Artists who register before the June 24 deadline will be included on the map.
