Public Art

The Conservancy’s public art program has paved the way for The Greenway to become a premier destination to see contemporary works of art in downtown Boston. The public art vision is to bring innovative and contemporary art to Boston through free, temporary exhibitions, engaging people in meaningful experiences, interactions and dialogue with art and each other. The Conservancy gives artists unique opportunities to exhibit bold, new work that considers the possibilities of 21st century Boston.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that The Greenway is situated on the unceded and ancestral homelands and waterways of the Massachusett and Pawtucket Tribes, and their neighbors the Wampanoag, and Nipmuc Peoples, who have stewarded this land for hundreds of generations.

As a land-based organization, we recognize that the land and waterways are older than we are and pay honor and respect to this history and to this land, these communities, their Elders and all past, present, and future generations.
