Boston Art Review will be collecting community responses and facilitating dialogue around ten inquiries developed through the organization’s partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Culture’s Un-monument initiative.

Attendees are invited to contribute reflections and ideas around memory, monuments, and civic space in Boston that may be included in a future publication. 

ABOUT THE CIVIC SUMMIT

The Civic Summit is a full-day, in-person event designed to create a space where both emerging and experienced civic leaders can share knowledge, build relationships, and inspire collective action.

The theme, We the People, celebrates the voices shaping Boston’s past and future.

The event provides a platform for meaningful networking and collaboration across neighborhoods and organizations. Through carefully curated workshops, attendees gain practical insights and strategies they can apply within their own communities to drive tangible change. In addition to workshops, the Civic Summit features dynamic panel discussions with thought leaders and subject matter experts from a variety of fields. These conversations, combined with the exchange among attendees, aim to spark innovative ideas and creative solutions to the challenges facing our communities.

Free and open to the public. 

Stay updated with the latest information and announcements about the event by visiting www.boston.gov/civic-summit and following @BostonCivicOrg on Instagram.
