It’s not often that you hear of a piece of permanent public art moving, and this fall the City of Boston has three!

We’re looking for artists or artist teams to create permanent public artworks to complement a new building for the Boston Arts Academy (BAA) in the Fenway neighborhood.

This post about the One Boston Resilience Project was written by Mayor Walsh.

Mayor Walsh has committed $75,000 to the program as part of the City's record-breaking investment in public art.

We're commissioning at least four projects with budgets ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 that celebrate the diversity of the City.

The Project Partnership Grant Program is intended to support recurring events and programs that create opportunities for artists in Boston.

Chosen by public art experts, the roster of selected projects was unveiled this morning at Americans for the Arts’ Annual Convention in Minneapolis.
