Third Thursdays
Space Makers
Thursday, July 18, 2019
5:30 - 9 pm
Throughout the Museum
The place you live shapes who you are. So, how do you re-claim, re-purpose, or re-activate the green spaces in your community? Connect with local artists, activists, and horticulturists to explore a love of living things and their impact on our health and happiness.
Programming for the Evening
In the Studio | 5:30–8:30 PM
Participate in a city-wide, seed bomb scavenger hunt with Annabel Rabiyah. Make your own seed bomb, a ball full of native wildflowers and soil. Then help us hide seed bombs in "geocached" containers across green spaces in Boston.
In the Courtyard | 5:30–8:45 PM
The Mastadonis Project is Adonis Martin, a pianist who brings an eclectic style that encompasses gospel and R&B/Neo-soul with Caribbean influences to the jazz world.
In the Jordan Garden | 5:30–8:45 PM
The Pickup Music Project invites you to play music with chimes and water sculptures. Then, stay for a short concert that combines compositions written for the sculptures and short anecdotes about their history. Learn more about their work below!
