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.

Lot lab is an outdoor, 24/7 experimentation zone for site-specific contemporary public art created with the boston community. Activating underused parcels across boston, lot lab provided opportunities for local and visiting artists to present multimedia installations in a community gathering space.
