The Art Walk Project

Good question! Using the map provided, (download and printout the PDF map and/or the art work list provided or you can just use it on the website). Follow along and find the numbered places. To help you locate art I have also provided a gallery of images and included the street addresses, IG handle, etc… where I could find them

Anyone who wants to try an Art Walk, feels capable of doing it and can get to designated area is welcome to do an Art Walk. I’ve tried to make these as accessible as possible. That being said some neighborhoods are going to be more accessible than others. Go at your own pace, and don’t feel you need to do it all at once.

Not really. I would recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing. I also recommend bringing the map either on your phone or printed out, as well as having a map app accessible if you aren’t familiar with the area(s). If it’s hot out bring sunscreen and water and If you’re going to be on Public Transportation probably also want a facemask.

Yes, the website is translatable via Google Translate. Simply select the language you are looking for from the dropdown menu on the lower left hand corner of the page.

All of these walks are easily accessible via public transportation, which I’ve made a note of in each post. They can also typically be reached by car, bicycle and on foot. Before you head out I recommend you research the location, parking and how to get there if you are not familiar with the area. Please keep in mind that parking in Boston can be tricky and expensive.

NOOOOO….. THIS MAP IS NOT FOR DRIVING.  This map is a graphic representation of the neighborhood only and they are meant to give you a general idea of where to find the works of art as you walk through. I recommend that before you venture out you familiarize yourself with the area and/or also employ a map app as well.

There are a number of different reasons. Sometimes art goes up after I create the tour, or I feel that adding more art would make the experience too confusing. That doesn’t mean the art isn’t worth noting it just means you should consider it an added bonus to your adventure.

Where available I have provided information about the artists. This means that when I could find it I did my best to include an Instagram handle, or website or sometimes both. Please keep in mind that while many artists enjoy hearing from people with genuine interest or appreciation for their work not all artists are as interested in connecting in that way. Please be respectful if you try to reach out.

I don’t have a schedule but I do tend to check and tweak maps as I go. If hear of new work going up I will check and see if it’s something I need to include and add it in.

These do take a bit of time and money for me to complete. All things considered I couldn’t give an exact ETA for the next one but I do regularly work on them. If you are interested I would recommend that you subscribe to my mailing list (on the bottom of the home page) to receive notifications about new posts and when the next map is made available.

The easiest way to help out is to simply share it with others. You can also let me know of any new art that might be a nice addition to an existing map or which could be included in a new one. I am also working on a donation and sponsorship plan for the near future so If you want to and can contribute that way it will be an option down the line as well.
