On View

Connecting with the city

Public art is always unfolding across Boston. Below is a complete list of our projects currently on view. These works—from past Triennial, Accelerator, and Now + There initiatives—remain accessible across the city, opening up Boston and transforming a culturally and racially closed city into an open one. Each piece offers a different way to see, move through, and connect with the city. Visit our map to explore these works across the city.

Coming Soon

This summer, in parks, plazas, and public spaces across Boston, you’re invited to experience Better Angels—a free participatory pop-up installation by Boston artist Heather Kapplow. Step inside a world of inflatable clouds, heavenly gates, and a cast of campy angels, where visitors are invited to reflect, connect, and contribute to a shared experience.
