BOSTON PUBLIC ART TRIENNIAL

Open to All

Say hello to 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. The best part is that it’s open to all.
