Bo Lembo graduated from UMASS Dartmouth in the mid-nineties with a degree in Fine Arts. Shortly after he joined the Boston public art scene as a director with The Revolving Museum working with contemporaries to transform abandoned spaces into interactive, transitory art experiences that incorporated the input of the local community and acknowledged the history of the space and with Medicine Wheel Productions who’s mission to “re-mystify art” used art to process loss and foster healing on a community level through land reclamation projects and large scale temporary and permanent installations.
Lembo’s work as an educator is characterized by creating space where individual and collective voice are honored through a recognized shared vision in civically minded, project based learning. Bo is currently the Director of the Gately Youth Center in Cambridge Massachusetts where he uses story telling as an agent for fostering and celebrating community and as a professional development tool for out of school time educators.
