Featured Events in Boston in September 2025 (August Updated)

Generations of artists have explored the beauties and terrors of the ocean, reflecting on the experiences of those who have lived and lost their lives among the waves. Weaving together artworks by four artists made over centuries and across the Atlantic, this exhibition follows a genealogical thread united by the sea. Echoes of John Singleton Copley’s Watson and the Shark (1778) reverberate in J. M. W Turner’s 1840 Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On), which itself has influenced art created in the 21st century.

Visitors embark on an interactive tour of the Titanic with incredible re-creations of the Ship’s interior and exterior. Visitors receive a replica boarding pass, assume the role of a passenger, and follow a chronological journey through life on Titanic. Walk the halls, explore the galleries, peer into cabins, and meet passengers and crew throughout the voyage. The 15,000-square-foot Exhibition features replica interior rooms and a full-scale re-creation of the Grand Staircase. Visitors will be able to view authentic artifacts, respectfully recovered from two and a half miles below the surface of the North Atlantic, which tell the real story behind Titanic’s journey from construction to eventual recovery. The genuine artifacts on display offer emotional connections to the forever-altered lives of those who were on board Titanic.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) once wrote, “What I’m most passionate about…is the portrait, the modern portrait.” This passion flourished between 1888 and ’89 when, during his stay in Arles, in the South of France, the artist created a number of portraits of a neighboring family—the postman Joseph Roulin; his wife, Augustine; and their three children: Armand, Camille, and Marcelle. Van Gogh’s tender relationship with the postman and his family, and his groundbreaking portrayals of them, are at the heart of this exhibition, which is the first dedicated to the Roulin portraits and the deep bonds of friendship between the artist and this family.

This exhibition brings together works from the MFA’s collection by María Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959) and Ana Mendieta (1948–1985) in the first focused look at these influential artists side by side. Though the two never met, their practices share a reckoning with displacement and exile from their homes in Cuba, a deep reverence for the land, and a transformative use of natural elements like water, earth, and fire. For both artists, memory, ritual, and spirituality animate their artworks across photography, film, video, drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance.

Living in a time of civil and political turmoil, Qi Baishi (1864–1957) was renowned for his modernization of Chinese ink painting. Conveying rural sentiments with bold landscapes, lifelike animals and plants, and lively and amusing figures, Qi’s paintings of mundane objects and everyday life broke social and cultural barriers. His innovative experiments included the juxtaposition of vibrant colors against rich ink tones, a pronounced economy of form and composition, and vivid representations with revealing inscriptions. He also revitalized Chinese painting with expressive brushwork based on his calligraphic practice and seal carving. Qi is credited with transforming the traditional brush art of China’s educated elite into an expressionistic and abstract form that speaks clearly to the modern era.

Over half a century, American artist Minnie Evans (1892–1987) created thousands of radiant and kaleidoscopic works of art inspired by vivid dreams and local landscapes in her native Wilmington, North Carolina. These imaginative, intricately detailed drawings and paintings merged her own inner world—her religious beliefs, interest in mythology, and study of history—with the natural environment that surrounded her.

This summer, violets, nasturtiums, and hydrangeas escape from the Gardner’s greenhouses and rain down the Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade in a site-specific installation by Artist-in-Residence Yu-Wen Wu. Inspired by Isabella's passion for plants and the loving care given to our “Living Collection” by the Museum’s horticulture team, Wu composed a collage of photographs of the Gardner’s flowers, transforming individual blossoms into a windswept shower blooming bright against dark storm clouds. At once an homage to the fleeting beauty of the natural world and meditation on the precious vulnerability of the environment, Reigning Beauty will crown the Façade from June 17 – October 14, 2025 and is part of this summer’s inaugural Boston Public Art Triennial.

In Doors (2022), Marclay edited hundreds of film and television clips, focusing on the opening and closing of doors. This dynamic image collage took more than ten years to complete, and the materials cover almost all types of feature films, from the French New Wave to Hollywood blockbusters. Through meticulous editing, Marclay constructs a visual narrative in which the actors constantly enter new spaces, and each door becomes a node for editing, forming a transition between different films and sound fields. The work presents a labyrinthine journey in which the protagonists get lost and found again. Marclay describes the image as a sculptural presence - a "spiritual architecture that the audience may follow or get lost in."

From May to October 2025, the inaugural Boston Public Art Triennial will present 15 compelling commissions sprawled across the city. Each visionary local, national, and international artist will produce sculptures, interactive exhibits, or performance-based and community-led activities with an emphasis on East Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan, ensuring equitable representation and access. The Triennial 2025’s commissioned works will be joined by additional public art experiences across the city.

What is a garden? A wild space? A curated collection of plants? Or a plot of soil in which to seed memory, connection, and creativity? This summer, the Gardner Museum’s Hostetter Gallery springs to life with the large-scale sculptures of Ming Fay (1943 – 2025), whose work reconsiders gardens as sites of creative potential that reflect the lives and desires of those who cultivate them. At once playful and contemplative, Ming Fay: Edge of the Garden constructs a space of wonder that calls on visitors to view the world around them with new appreciation. Sculptures of fruits, seeds, shells, as well as hybrid plants borne of his boundless imagination, surprise in their unexpected pairings and sizes. Together, they conjure new meanings through familiar shapes, scents, and symbols. In his papier-mâché, bronze and ceramic gardens, Fay unites personal, collective, and cultural memories, building gardens as fantastical spaces born of curiosity, longing, and his own lived experiences as part of the Chinese diaspora in the United States. On view from June 26 – September 21, 2025, Ming Fay: Edge of the Garden invites visitors to escape the city for a brief moment and marvel at the extraordinary, ordinary beauty of a maple tree twirler, a ripe cherry, or a crooked wishbone—and how they can unlock memory and imagination. Where We Meet: Imagining Gardens and Futures, a partner exhibition at Pao Arts Center will explore the city of Boston’s Chinatown gardens through the art of Ming Fay, Mel Taing, and Yu-Wen Wu from July 18 – October 10, 2025.

Join us this summer to dig into the roots of Isabella Stewart Gardner’s passion for plants. Both an avid gardener and a trailblazing curator, Isabella relished in her “deliriously glorious” garden at Green Hill—her estate in Brookline, Massachusetts—before she constructed her Museum. A site of respite and a testing ground for innovation, it was there that Isabella first cultivated the varieties that would fill the Museum Courtyard, honed her curatorial vision, and furthered her conviction that art and nature enliven one another. Isabella’s horticultural creativity is captured on the canvases of paintings on view throughout the Gardner Museum today. Flowers for Isabella, on view from June 26 – September 21, 2025 in the Fenway Gallery, gathers archival materials and artworks from the Gardner collection depicting four of Isabella’s most cherished species—irises, peonies, chrysanthemums, and nasturtiums. Together they create a new portrait of the Museum’s founder just steps away from her ever-blooming Courtyard garden.

Dutch painter Rachel Ruysch was hailed as the "Dutch miracle of art" during her lifetime for her gorgeous and lifelike floral still lifes of plants, fruits and insects from all over the world. As global trade routes expanded in the 17th century, thousands of new plant specimens arrived in the Netherlands. Ruysch was one of the first artists to introduce new species such as passionflowers and cacti into floral still lifes. The exhibition brings together 35 representative paintings from museums and private collections in the United States and Europe.

Portia Zvavahera (b. 1985 in Harare, Zimbabwe) draws from her dreams to create layered paintings that evoke moments of transition and transcendence. For the artist, the act of painting is akin to an act of worship. Across her work, Zvavahera engages deeply with the African Pentecostal and Indigenous Shona traditions in which she was raised, illuminating the centrality of dreams, ancestors, and revelation to both belief systems. The artist merges painting and printmaking techniques to conjure worlds glimpsed in her dreams, where figures commune with spirits, and protective comforts and nightmares collide in stirring unions. Culling from an array of sources ranging from the angels and demons of medieval European devotional art to the vibrant patterns of Zimbabwean textile designs, Zvavahera constructs what the art historian Tamar Garb has described as “a unique and porous pictorial world.” For the ICA, her first solo museum exhibition in the U.S., Zvavahera is presenting a selection of recent paintings centered on the theme of animals, considering how they populate her work as well as the collective imagination.
