Join us at a Boston Public Library branch near you by dropping by during our pop-up hours and chatting with us about community-centered public art! Now + There is hosting community listening sessions centered on a deeper understanding of how our arts programming can provide sufficient and sustainable engagement to the community and amplify the power of public art to new audiences.
We are currently planning for the Boston Public Art Triennial, a city wide public art festival in 2025 which will feature artists from the Boston area as well as national and international artists to develop 15 large-scale works throughout the city. This includes your neighborhood!
In preparation for the Boston Public Art Triennial, we are hosting a series of Listening Sessions in the communities where the 15 artworks will be. Through extensive listening and learning in community, these sessions will inform and guide how Now + There responds to community feedback through its Triennial programming.
The goal of these sessions is to build upon Now + There’s extensive public engagement efforts through a deeper understanding of how our Triennial programming can provide sufficient and sustainable engagement to the community and amplify the power of public art to new audiences. Beyond listening and learning, we will develop relationships with the neighbors and communities of the 15 Triennial sites.
We welcome everyone to attend and provide feedback that will help us shape public art programming that fosters connection and open minds in your neighborhood. No familiarity with the arts is required!
We hope you’ll join us for one of the upcoming Community Listening Sessions; more dates on upcoming sessions can be found on our website calendar at www.nowandthere.org.
Vinn jwenn nou nan sikisal Bibliyotèk Leta Boston ki pi pre’w la nan lè nou ouvri pou nou pale sou atizana piblik ki nan kominote a! Now + There ap òganize yon sesyon deba kominotè kap konsantre sou yon konpreyansyon apwofondi sou kijan pwogram atizana nou an ka bay kominote a yon angajman dirab epi ogmante pouvwa atizana piblik la pou rale plis moun.
Kounye a nap planifye pou Boston Public Art Triennial, yon festival atizana piblik ki fèt chak twa lane nan tout vil la. Nap prepare youn pou lane 2025 kap gen atis ki soti nan zòn Boston ansanm ak atis nasyonal epi entènasyonal pou devlope 15 kokennchenn travay nan tout vil la. Katye pa w ladan’l!
Nan kad preparasyon Boston Public Art Triennial la, nap òganize plizyè sesyon deba nan kominote kote 15 travay atistik yo pral ye. Apre anpil chita pale ak tande nan kominote a, sesyon sa yo ap ka enfòme ak gide Now + There sou kijan pou l reponn kòmantè kominote a atravè pwogram Triennial li yo.
Objektif sesyon sa yo se pou bati Now + There sou anpil efò angajman piblik atravè yon konpreyansyon pi pwofon sou kijan pwogram Triennial nou an kapab bay ase angajman dirab nan kominote a epi ogmante pouvwa atizana piblik pou nouvo moun. Anplis koute ak aprann, nou pral devlope relasyon ak vwazen yo ak kominote yo nan 15 sit Triennial yo.
Nou invite tout moun pou yo patisipe epi bay kòmantè ki ka ede nou bati yon pi bon pwogram atizana piblik kap ka ankouraje koneksyon ak akseptans nan katye’w la. Ou pa oblije gen konesans sou atizana!
Nou espere wap vin patisipe nan Sesyon Deba Kominotè ki ap vini yo; ou ka jwenn plis dat sou sesyon kap vini yo nan kalandriye sit entènèt nou an www.nowandthere.org.
