    As an alternative, unvaccinated participants in ACA programs, events, and activities must complete and sign the above form before the beginning of the program for which they are enrolled/attending, agreeing that they will test for COVID-19, utilizing a rapid or PCR test, before each visit to ACA and will only participate in ACA's programs should they test negative.

Barceloni, Gustavo

Gustavo Barceloni (he/him/his) is one of our treasured ceramics instructors at ACA. Originally from Brazil, Gustavo is a ceramic artist, Boston-based educator, and community activist.  Gustavo's love of sharing the medium of clay led him to co-lead the student group Clay for Change with Vanessa Norris. Together they offered free local classes in Roxbury and Dorchester, hosted film screenings on art activism, and helped raise thousands of dollars organizing fundraisers such as the annual “Empty Bowls” events for the Haley House, an organization hosting programs such as affordable housing, a bakery café, and a soup kitchen. At MassArt, Gustavo also curated a multimedia art show, fundraiser, and open mic called Resistance Culture: An Art Show for Revolutionaries. As an alum, he spoke at the symposium, "Creative Counterpoints: Artists Translate Difference" articulating his creative path exploring transnational discomfort to an audience of art educators. His work has given opportunities for local youth, community members, and radical artists to express themselves, be supported, and learn from his practice."
