Time Out says

Just a block from either of Boston’s storied art institutions on Huntington Avenue, The MassArt Art Museum is a hidden gem for modern art that’s free to check out. Comprising two moderately-sized galleries, MAAM opened in 2020 and has made contemporary art more accessible in Boston than ever before. Like you’d find at the city’s renowned Institute for Contemporary Art a few miles away in the Seaport, avant-garde exhibitions of global, national and local artists are MAAM’s mission. “Displacement,” a show of nine artists’ works up through December 8, explored human relationships with their environments with multimedia works that have stayed in my mind. MAAM is currently closed until January 23, when “Future Fossils” opens with “imagine relics” created by more than a dozen international luminaries including Ai Weiwei. Did we mention it’s always free?

What’s on

Art on the Plaza: Sounds of Summer

Art on the Plaza: Sounds of Summer brings a relaxed midsummer evening to the MassArt Art Museum’s outdoor plaza, combining live music, creative activities and a casual gathering atmosphere. The series turns the museum’s exterior space into a spot for performances, hands-on art experiences and seasonal treats, creating an easy way to spend a few hours surrounded by creativity. The appeal is in how naturally it blends art and community: you can catch a set, take part in an activity or simply enjoy the energy of a public space filled with people lingering after work. It’s a good pick for anyone who likes their summer plans with a little culture but none of the formality of a traditional gallery visit.
