BOSTON (WHDH) - A new public art fest is kicking off this year in Boston.
The theme of the city’s first ever public art triennial, Boston Public Art Triennial 2025 is The Exchange, an artist-driven and expert-supported exhibition of extraordinary cross-disciplinary public art projects that break down social and professional barriers to promote collaboration and strengthen community resilience.
On Saturday, local youth leaders from Maverick Landing Community Services (MLCS) joined Salem-based artist Gabriel Sosa at his Triennial site Ñ Press, a community print studio in collaboration with MLCS, during open studio hours where they were using a silk screen prints to create their own T-shirts. Ñ Press is open to the public with the goal to make art, activism and connection more accessible to everyone.
“It’s nice to have moments to reflect and feel the joy that art can bring,” said Executive Director Kate Gilbert. “The community response has been fantastic, we’re seeing people who haven’t seen contemporary art in their everyday experiencing that, having a moment of ‘wow,’ a moment of self-reflection, all the things that art can do.”
