BOSTON PUBLIC ART TRIENNIAL
Art for Boston.
All for Free.
The Boston Public Art Triennial fosters relationships between artists and the public to create art that opens minds, conversations, and spaces across the city. From new public art commissions to local artist support, to the next citywide triennial, every experience is an invitation to experience Boston differently. We’re glad you’re here.

Our three-year model is a progressive, iterative approach to building a more open, vibrant, and equitable city, co-created with daring artists and caring communities. The story of Triennial 2028 is being written now in the artists we choose, the places we go, and the community partners we engage.
In 2026, you can experience Better Angels by Heather Kapplow and four neighborhood-based works created as part of The Triennial’s Public Art Accelerator program. (Protip: the next call for local artists is open November 2–30, 2026.)
As we approach Triennial 2028 under the artistic direction of Risa Puleo, you can be part of opening minds, conversations, and spaces by participating in new commissions, talks, and parties—all for free. Visit our Join Us page to get involved. What we build together over the next two years will shape what public art means in this city for a generation.
