BOSTON PUBLIC ART TRIENNIAL INC

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 one of boston's neighborhoods. Artists who demonstrate need and interest in creating object-based works for boston received training in the skills (e.g., budgeting, project management) and sensibilities (e.g., consensus-building, empathy, ability to communicate a vision and involve others clearly) to succeed in the dynamic field of public art. Cohort-model workshops support the development of these skills. Four artists were selected to participate in approximately 14 workshops led by the triennial's curatorial and production team, alongside diverse workshop instructors.
