Now. There. Let's make some art!
Now and There is bringing together unique artists with unique spaces to create thought-provoking public art in Greater Boston. We're building on our 30-year history as UrbanArts to create temporary and site specific projects for, and with, the community. We're glad you're here!

We serve artists and the community.
FOR BOSTON
We serve up art that fosters questions and enlivens our communities. Our goal is to be a voice in the conversation about Boston's identity. Who are we as Bostonians? What do we value? And how is all that represented in our public art?
FOR ARTISTS
We put our artists' visions first. We search out artists whose values matches our own and those of our community. We then help them make the best public art they can. And along the way we hope to help advance new definitions of public art.
The first post from N+T's 2018 Critic-in-Residence, Leah Triplett Harrington explores how UrbanArts has became Now and There and how bringing Bostonians artwork considering place, ecology, and gentrification relates to public artwork presented in Boston in the 80s. Is Boston’s public art - permanent or temporary - a way that we can make sense of the enormity of economic and political “transactions” happening globally?
