Looking for a day trip? Or perhaps an “art-full” afternoon? The Attleboro Arts Museum is a part of the Boston South Visual Art Trail, a collaboration between five arts-based organizations located south of Boston. Are partners are:

The goal for this collaboration is to be able to direct our visitors to other venues for seeing art. Each organization’s exhibits change frequently, and each offers so many activities and events that there is always a reason to go back for another visit.

Each location is no more than a 40-minute drive from the others, and they have much in common:

  • We are small museums that host rotating art exhibits throughout the year.
  • We offer art-related programming, classes, and workshops
  • Admission is free at each location. (Yes, free!)

PLEASE CONTACT THE ATTLEBORO ARTS MUSEUM BEFORE VISITING.  OUR GALLERY CLOSES TO THE PUBLIC DURING EXHIBITION INSTALLATIONS. WE’RE EAGER TO HAVE YOU VISIT – BUT WANT YOU TO GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU COME TO OUR DOORS. THANK YOU. Telephone: 508-222-2644 x10 or email: office@attleboroartsmuseum.org.

Brochures for the Boston South Visual Arts Trail are available at each location, and also may be downloaded here:

Public art enlivens and enhances cities and can turn public spaces into destinations.  Weaving visual art into an urban environment by offering public art encounters brings people together, creates pride-of-place and invites engagement. 

A collaboration between the City of Attleboro, Transformative Development Initiative (TDI) Partnership, Keep Attleboro Beautiful, Attleboro Arts Museum, volunteer artists that either live and/or work in Attleboro, and generous individuals has been activated to transform the surface of Attleboro’s sidewalk utility boxes into gallery-worthy works of art.   

The Fungus Among Us by Abby Rovaldi appears on a utility box in Attleboro’s Gilbert Perry Square.  This photo is a rendering of the completed Phase 1 box.

Each box is marked with a QR code. When viewers scan the code with a smartphone camera they’ll find a statement about the artwork pictured on a given box, background on each artist and an online survey to capture their feedback on the program.

Organizers hope to expand the program throughout the city and turn other basic, functional structures into contemporary, eye-catching street markers.

SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK! Let us know your thoughts on Think Outside the Box. Complete this brief survey: https://forms.gle/934UHpvyUtnCEvU4A

Sponsorship opportunites for additional boxes are available.  Email office@attleboroartsmuseum.org to learn more.
