Franklin Park Coalition

Pop-Up: Franklin Park Art Grove is a selection of 8-10 outdoor art interventions temporarily installed in Franklin Park’s Wilderness Picnic Grove in August. A weekend event featuring artwork and food trucks will activate the site, and feature curated discussions on environmental issues and social themes with contemporary relevance led by the Trotter Institute for Black History and Culture at UMass Boston. Youth from Artward Bound at MassArt will support strategic outreach strategies and youth in Franklin Park programs will do habitat restoration and prepare sites for projects. This pilot project builds on Boston Art Commissions Pop-up! Dudley Connections. The goal is for this to be annual.
