ANNUAL PROGRAM
Public Art Accelerator
Ushering in a cohort of artists shaping Boston’s public space
The Public Art Accelerator is a skill-building and grant-funding program designed to support early-to-mid-career Boston-based artists in creating temporary public art projects in Boston neighborhoods. Launched in 2018, the 30 graduates of the Accelerator are working in the community, creating dynamic and thoughtful projects, and helping change the narrative of our city and region. During Triennial years, Greater Boston artists are invited to participate in the Accelerator at Lot Lab.
Accelerator Cohort 6 artists are hard at work producing four bold public art experiences coming this summer — be sure to check Events for more information on openings and programming.
Triennial Accelerator
The 2025 program is an advanced version of the traditional Public Art Accelerator intended to coincide with Triennial 2025. It is an opportunity for three Greater Boston-based artists to create and conceive ambitious public art projects in concert with 15 high-profile projects across the city May — October 2025.

ACCELERATOR SUPPORTERS
The Public Art Accelerator Program is possible thanks to the generosity and leadership of Joyce Linde, who supported the 3-year pilot program. She is joined by James and Audrey Foster and other donors who believe the work of local artists, especially artists of color and those underrepresented in traditional art systems, belongs in public space.
