Boston Public Art Triennial – the city’s first and only public art organization dedicated to supporting artists and communities in presenting bold contemporary public art that opens minds, conversations, and spaces, resulting in a more vibrant, open, and equitable region.

Our annual programs Lot Lab and the Public Art Accelerator find and foster artists and communities, while serving as feeders to a culminating city-wide Triennial public art exhibition. The first Triennial will happen in 2025 and every three years thereafter.

Boston Public Art Triennial was created to foster relationships between artists and the public to create bold public art experiences that open minds, conversations, and spaces across Boston, resulting in a more open, equitable, and vibrant city.

Boston Public Art Triennial will become recognized locally, nationally, and globally for presenting public art as a critical catalyst for open community engagement, equitable social change, and a contributor to the cultural and economic vibrancy of a city.

At Boston Public Art Triennial, justice is core to our mission of fostering artists and the public to co-create bold public art experiences that open minds, conversations, and spaces across Boston, resulting in a more open, equitable, and vibrant city.

Achieving our mission takes a community. Together, we are building a public art city where practicing radical collaboration and inclusion in the production of life-affirming art can flex the muscles needed to imagine new, equitable ways of living together. The more diverse and inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Creating a culture of equity is the right thing to do, and it will strengthen our work and our impact and help us achieve our vision: A public art city defined as open, vibrant, and equitable with bold, temporary art in all of Boston’s neighborhoods.
