Spaces, Places, and Events for Reflection

Engage with open minds and compassionate hearts as we explore the many ways we can make a positive impact on our society.

Alive with creative energy MassArt’s galleries, studios, classrooms, lecture halls, and seminar rooms have been filled with inspiring content that invites us to gather, share, and learn from one another. Now join your peers and faculty in events designed to foster dialogue and reflection, and spaces that simply invite us to connect through shared moments.

We encourage you to explore the cultural treasures right in our neighborhood – the Gardner Museum, the MFA, the Labyrinth at Simmons college, and our very own MAAM, which features unique programming around nature and the environment. These experiences remind us of the complexity, beauty and shared humanity present in our world. Take a walk through the Emerald Necklace, visit an open market, or join a discussion on a topic that interests you. Whatever you choose to do, take a moment to breathe, reflect, and appreciate being part of this vibrant and special community.
