Justina Crawford, MFA

Justina Crawford has a passion for providing communities with an accessible opportunity in which they are able to learn, reflect, and celebrate their unknown possibilities. With a background in music education and an interest in community arts, Justina has experience developing and managing arts programs for youth and families in various “at-promise” communities.

In November of 2016 joined the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as Manager of Lectures, Courses, and Concerts. She is responsible for coordinating and developing three key programs within the department: Looking Together, small-group discussions that explore the Museum’s collections and exhibitions in the galleries; Remix, small-in gallery programs that involve a social element or connection to pop-culture that is explored through the MFA’s collection or exhibitions; The City Talks, monthly panels that bring together Boston thought-leaders and the community to discuss themes that are found within current exhibitions and the City of Boston. As part of a summer Creative Arts Residency, Justina coordinated a series of nine performances featuring live music and dance performed by Reciprocity Collaborative, under the direction of artistic director Ilya Vidrin. In addition, she assists with special projects and community partnerships that activate the museum for the benefit of the community.
