NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC ART IN BOSTON
The Boston Research Center (BRC), Northeastern University and Boston Public Library

In the course of her decades of work with Boston’s public art Hutt realized that without an entity to collect and house the history of public art in Boston this important legacy was in danger of being lost and forgotten, so she founded the Neighborhood Public Art in Boston public art history project, which is now led by staff and researchers at the Boston Research Center, based in the Northeastern University Library’s Digital Scholarship Group in partnership with the Boston Public Library.

The Neighborhood Public Art Project collects information on public artwork in Boston’s neighborhoods. This project invites users to explore Boston’s artwork using an interactive map, data visualizations of the artwork, and the WikiProject where this data is stored. The website serves as an entry point for the project’s various components.
