About this Event

As Boston prepares for its first-ever, city-wide Public Art Triennial in May 2025, join us for an in-depth discussion about the joys, pitfalls, and the political possibilities of creating art in and for a city. How can art in the public sphere amplify and support communities? What are the challenges in merging creative and civic spaces during times of political strife? And, honestly, how does it all happen?

To help us unpack these questions are SMFA-alumna Kate Gilbert (founder and director of the Boston Public Art Triennial); Robert Kwak (Benchmark Arts); Matt Okazaki (Tufts History of Art and Architecture) Sean Glover (SMFA Sculpture); and Mags Harries (SMFA Sculpture)–moderated by TUAG director Dina Deitsch, chair and founder of Tufts Public Art Committee.
