The Triennial

Welcome to Triennial 2025: The Exchange, the inaugural edition of the Boston Public Art Triennial. This citywide exhibition invites you to explore newly commissioned public artworks placed thoughtfully across Boston’s neighborhoods, encouraging engagement with both the art and the communities it represents.

Inspired by Boston’s wealth of expertise—from community-based organizations addressing homelessness and addiction to NGOs focused on wildlife conservation, alongside medical researchers, arts institutions, and universities—The Exchange brings together artists and expertsto create impactful artworks that confront pressing societal issues. Through these collaborations, we aim to spark dialogue, foster empathy, and reimagine our shared future.

Theme: The Exchange

The Exchange is an artist-driven, expert-supported exhibition that breaks down disciplinary barriers to promote collaboration and strengthen community resilience. By celebrating art’s power to build bridges, the Triennial features immersive, landmark artworks created in dialogue with their host neighborhoods. These curated works tackle complex issues through innovative approaches, nurturing partnerships and inspiring change.

About the Boston Public Art Triennial

As Boston’s first and only public art organization dedicated to bold contemporary art, we empower artists and communities to create works that open minds, conversations, and spaces—making the region more vibrant, equitable, and connected. Our annual programs, Lot Lab and the Public Art Accelerator, discover and support emerging artists, serving as a foundation for the Triennial’s citywide exhibition. The inaugural Triennial launches in 2025, recurring every three years, and is free and open to all.
