19 new questions were dropped in the Common between Friday, September 24 Wednesday, September 29. Have you found them yet?
Each Thursday we share “Q’s dropped” in the Common as part of What Do We Have In Common by Janet Zweig. Here are the first two day’s worth of provocative questions like '“Who Owns This Park”?
Building on the success of N+T Asks and #LiveSesh, we’re bringing the conversation to the Common with two live N+T Asks: Boston Common at the What Do We Have In Common cabinet.
We debuted a new mural by Ekua Holmes and London Parker-McWhorter on the side of Breezes Laundromat, 345 Blue Hill Ave, Grove Hall plus two new surprise canvases in the adjacent lot.
Music, family-friendly activities, free food provided by Fresh Food Generation, and more!

We set out on this, Now + There's fifth curatorial year, to help realize the works and vision of thirteen artists, all under the theme of Shared Power. 2020 was to be, and now more than ever will be the year we recognize our commonality and agency. Click here to read a new post from Executive Director Kate Gilbert about how we’re facing the future and casting a vision for how we redefine our “public” with intentionality and grace.
We’re working from home too, which means curating from the kitchen table.

We were glad to have special guests artist Stephen Hamilton (2018 Public Art Accelerator and creator of The Founders Project) and Tiffany Cogell, a driven advocate and community organizer (and one of the powerful women featured in Elisa Hamilton’s 2017 project Slideshow) join us for our second installment of N+T Asks and help us answer: “What does care mean right now?”
On April 3, 2020, we launched our new online conversation series "N+T Asks." We were excited to welcome artist Silvia Lopez Chavez, Program Director of Public Art at New England Foundation for the Arts, Kim Szeto, and more than 75 participants from across the cultural sector as we asked: “What does public mean right now?”
We’re thrilled to introduce our powerhouse keynote speaker for the Now + There Forum: Public Art Accelerator, Dr. Kymberly Pinder! A public art curator with decades of experience with community-oriented and ephemeral public art projects, Dr. Pinder was named the Provost and Senior Vice President of MassArt in 2019.
