Boston Art Review is the only independent print and online publication committed to facilitating active discourse around contemporary art in Boston. BAR provides a space for diverse critical perspectives, reviews, exclusive interviews, and artwork. Boston Art Review’s direct engagement in our community has been at the cornerstone of our foundation. We seek to foster inter-institutional and city-wide discourse that breaks down silos and drives Boston’s arts and culture forward.
We love providing this service to our arts community, but we need your help keeping this publication alive.
