The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy

  • M

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Parks and Recreation Department

The Conservancy is the designated steward of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a mile-and-a-half of contemporary parks in the heart of Boston that connect people and the city with beauty and fun. The non-profit Conservancy maintains, programs, and improves the Greenway on behalf of the public and in partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Conservancy will bring innovative and contemporary art to Boston through free, temporary exhibitions on the Greenway, engaging people in meaningful experiences, interactions and dialogue with art and each other. We will give artists unique opportunities to exhibit bold, new work that considers the possibilities of 21st century Boston.
