FUNDERS
The vision of the Boston Public Art Triennial is being realized thanks to many bold Bostonians and we welcome your participation.
FURTHERING OUR REACH
We work closely to engage with all communities through our Community Listening Sessions and Public Art Ambassador programs.
Community Listening Sessions
Boston Public Art Triennial asks, learns, and listens to the communities we serve. Every new artwork is rooted in and responsive to community, engaging curiosity-based dialogue and understanding to build networks throughout Greater Boston.
Public Art Ambassadors
Public Art Ambassadors (PAAs) are on-site representatives who engage the public in conversations about artwork and Boston Public Art Triennial’s mission. PAAs represent and uphold our mission of creating a more vibrant, open, and equitable city by supporting on-site programs, engaging the public in conversation about the artwork, and working together to create a welcoming gathering space.
