綠路排定2026冬季項目

 The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy Announces its 2026 Winter Programming Lineup

 A dazzling Ferris Wheel, a new Winter Playway map, and festive winter lighting invite Boston to rediscover The Greenway all season long

January 26, 2026 – Boston, MA – Today, the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy announced its 2026 winter programmatic lineup, featuring interactive light displays, seasonal attractions, and new family-friendly experiences designed to bring energy, wonder, and community to Downtown Boston throughout the cold-weather months.

Continuing the Conservancy’s commitment to vibrant placemaking year-round, this winter’s programming transforms The Greenway into a playful, illuminated landscape where residents and visitors alike can explore, connect, and celebrate the season.

WINTERACTIVE on The Greenway: Trumpet Flowers by Amigo & Amigo

As part of Downtown Boston Alliance’s annual WINTERACTIVE exhibition, the Conservancy is excited to present Trumpet Flowers by acclaimed design studio Amigo & Amigo at Dewey Square from January through March 2026. Trumpet Flowers is supported by the Greenway Business Improvement District (BID), and features luminous, trumpet-shaped blooms inspired by vintage gramophones and musical instruments. The glowing sculptures will create a warm and whimsical gathering place, inviting passersby to pause, interact, and experience art in an unexpected winter setting. 

The Frostival Ferris Wheel on The Greenway with Extended Carousel Hours Too

For the first time, the Greenway Conservancy plans to host a 76-foot gondola Ferris Wheel adjacent to the Greenway Carousel during the month of February 2026, as part of Meet Boston’s city-wide winter campaign, Boston Frostival. The Frostival Ferris Wheel on The Greenway will offer riders sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the North End, adding a spectacular new winter attraction to Downtown Boston.

To complement the Frostival Ferris Wheel on The Greenway, the Greenway Carousel will extend its season through February, giving families another whimsical way to experience the park during Boston Frostival and enjoy harbor-inspired rides in the heart of winter.

Both the Greenway Carousel and the Frostival Ferris Wheel will feature complimentary community days courtesy of Highland Street Foundation, where riders both young and old can enjoy a spin on either attraction for free. 

The Carousel will be free to ride on Thursday, February 19, from 12 to 8 p.m., and the Ferris Wheel will be free to ride on Friday, February 20, from 12 to 9 p.m.

If your organization is interested in sponsoring a free day of fun, you can reach out to us at eventproposals@rosekennedygreenway.org.

Introducing the Greenway Winter Playway Map

This winter, the Conservancy will debut a new Greenway Winter Playway Map, designed to help families explore The Greenway and Downtown Boston even as temperatures drop and snow begins to fall. The playful guide will highlight winter-friendly routes, activities, and points of interest, encouraging children and caregivers to stay active and curious all season long. A limited number of printed copies will be available for a limited time at the Greenway Carousel, and families can also download a printable version via the link above. 

Winter Lights in the North End

To brighten the darker months, festive Greenway Winter Lights will return to the North End, sponsored by the Greenway Business Improvement District (BID), transforming the park into a glowing evening destination. The illuminated displays will enhance the seasonal atmosphere and provide a welcoming backdrop for winter strolls, neighborhood visits, and after-dinner walks through the city.

The REDNOSE Holiday Lights & Decor team installed the lights in the park and used more than 3,000 bulbs to illuminate the pergolas in the North End! The lights will be on view through February 23.

“We hope these winter programs inspire families to bundle up and rediscover the beauty of our city’s green spaces,” said Eileen Ong, Director of Programs and Outreach at the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy. “The Greenway becomes something truly special in winter, and these fun, festive experiences invite people of all ages to explore, play, and make memories together.”

Discover The Greenway in Every Season

While many associate The Greenway with warmer months, the park remains an inviting destination all winter long. Visitors can enjoy the unique beauty of the Conservancy’s gardens as they transition into dormancy, revealing winter interest such as evergreens, textured seed pods, ornamental grasses, and vibrant pops of color from winterberry and holly bushes that attract birds throughout the colder months.

Open lawns across the park also provide space for spontaneous winter fun, from snow play to peaceful seasonal strolls after a fresh snowfall. 

No matter the weather, The Greenway offers visitors countless opportunities to explore and engage with Public Art, and this winter is no exception. In Chinatown, Misa Chhan’s Year of the Snake is on display, encouraging visitors to reflect on the themes of legacy and resilience of Cambodian diasporic communities, as well as a series of flags featuring the Chinese character fu, meaning ‘blessing’ and ‘luck’. Chaan’s installations are on display through the end of January 2026. 

In Dewey Square, Jeffery Gibson’s your spirit whispering in my ear continues to shine bright in the heart of downtown Boston with its brilliant colors and geometric designs. Featuring the artist’s own handwritten text and a series of found objects from his materials archive, the mural invites viewers to find inspiration in past and present generations, the planet, the universe, and all living things surrounding us. Gibson’s mural is on display through April 2026. 

Farther north, near the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Seaport Boulevard, Ja’Hari Ortega’s Big Hoops to Fill continues to delight park goers both young and young at heart, and remains open throughout the winter months, paying homage to the door knocker bamboo hoop earrings popularized in the 80s and 90s. This working swing set is a tribute to the themes of rest and play and an invitation to reclaim recreation and relaxation as a practice of radical care. Ortega’s installation is on display through October 2026.

In addition, a lighting and pathways improvement project led by MassDOT is currently underway and will continue over the next several weeks. These enhancements will improve visibility, safety, and accessibility throughout the Dewey Square and Fort Point Channel areas of the park, creating a brighter, more welcoming experience for winter visitors.

Guggenheim New York Announces 2025 Acquisitions of 39 works

 (NEW YORK, NY—January 26, 2026) In 2025, the Guggenheim New York acquired 39 works, spanning from 1963 to the present day, by 31 artists. These acquisitions further the Guggenheim’s commitment to expanding its interpretation and presentation of modern and contemporary art, with a particular focus on works that reflect diversity and innovative practices. 

This year’s acquisitions continue the Guggenheim’s longstanding effort to fill gaps in the collection by strengthening representation across movements, regions, and mediums with an emphasis on artists historically underrepresented within the museum’s holdings. This initiative centered on acquiring works by women-identifying and Latinx-identifying artists, many of whom represent both groups.  

Among the year’s highlights are two works by Colombian abstractionist Fanny Sanín, whose more than five-decade practice explores the relationships among symmetry, color, and geometry, beginning with early experiments in Abstract Expressionism. The museum also acquired its first work by New York–based, Dominican painter Freddy Rodríguez, another key figure in geometric abstraction whose contributions have long been underrecognized. His painting Guaroa (1973), acquired with support from the Latin American Circle, represents a significant addition to the museum’s collection of postwar abstraction. The museum further enriched its holdings of Latin American and Latinx art with works by Claudia Alarcón, Varda Caivano, Sandra Eleta, Sara Flores, Guillermo Galindo (in collaboration with Richard Misrach), Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Carlos Leppe, Santiago García Sáenz, and Santiago Yahuarcani. 

In 2025, the newly formed Guggenheim Constellation Council (formerly known as the International Director’s Council) facilitated the key acquisition of Egyptian Painting, Scribe (1979) by influential Canadian artist Dorothea Rockburne. This work deepens the museum’s holdings of Minimalism and Conceptual art, finding dialogue with Rockburne’s peers in the collection such as Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly. The acquisition also complements the Guggenheim’s recent addition of Dawn City (1963) by Anne Truitt, helping to build a more comprehensive understanding of women artists working in abstraction during the mid-twentieth century. Through its international membership and collaborative model, the Guggenheim Constellation Council strengthens connections across the Guggenheim’s global network—linking New York, Bilbao, and Venice, and laying the groundwork for the forthcoming Abu Dhabi location, while advancing a shared mission and cultural dialogue.  

The Guggenheim also strengthened its representation of artists long engaged by the institution, reinforcing its commitment to non-objective art. Notable gifts this year include works by Jenny Holzer and N. Dash, further advancing the museum’s dedication to collecting these artists in depth and building on recent exhibitions and new scholarship.  Additionally, the Guggenheim deepened its engagement with the artist Carrie Mae Weems through the acquisition of Lincoln, Lonnie, and Me – A Story in 5 Parts (2012), her acclaimed multimedia installation which draws on diverse narrative formats—including self-portraiture, social documentary, and oral history—to critically examine notions of subjectivity as they intersect with gender, race, and class. The museum acquired the major work Scrapbook #62 (2002–03) by Shinro Ohtake. In addition, Asian Art Council Cochair Alan Lau gifted the museum Paul Chan’s Sock N Tease (2013). 

The museum’s photography collection grew with the addition of works by Erica Baum, Sandra Eleta, and Nancy Holt. In conjunction with the Young Collectors Council (YCC), the Photography Council also acquired three works by Elle Pérez, marking the artist’s introduction to the collection. Devotions II (2018–23), acquired through the Photography Council, reflects the council’s ongoing commitment to supporting artists whose practices center community and embodied experience. Ascension (from Fire Island) (2019/21) and Force (from Fire Island) (2019/21), acquired through the YCC, underscore the group’s dedication to championing emerging voices whose work expands contemporary photographic discourse. Additional notable first-time acquisitions include works by contemporary artists Rachel Rossin, Ruby Sky Stiler, and Ambera Wellmann. 

Naomi Beckwith, Deputy Director and Jennifer and David Stockman Chief Curator, states, “The Guggenheim’s slate of artworks acquired in 2025 is a testament to the ways in which the institution thoughtfully looks back at its roots and its commitment to experimental forms and transnational approaches, while remaining forward-thinking about broadening the narrative possibilities of our art holdings.” 

These acquisitions were largely funded by the museum’s acquisition committees, including the Guggenheim Constellation Council, Asian Art Circle, Latin American Circle, WANASA (West Asia, North Africa, South Asia) Circle, Photography Council, and Young Collectors Council. Together, these groups ensure selections embrace a range of geographies, disciplines, timelines, and cultures. 

PATRICK ROATH ENDORSED BY LEADERS WE DESERVE

PATRICK ROATH ENDORSED BY LEADERS WE DESERVE

National Organization Led By Activist David Hogg Backs Roath's Challenge to 24-Year Incumbent

BOSTON, MA – Today, Leaders We Deserve, the national progressive organization co-founded by gun safety advocate David Hogg, endorsed Patrick Roath in his campaign for Congress in Massachusetts' 8th Congressional District.

"Leaders We Deserve is hard at work building and supporting the next generation of Democratic leaders — I'm proud to have their support and to be part of that effort," said candidate Patrick Roath. “After almost a quarter century of Congressman Lynch, voters in MA-08 are ready for change. They want bold leadership on the issues that matter most: housing costs, childcare affordability, and protecting our democracy. That's what I’m about, and we are building a campaign prepared to deliver that."

"Leaders We Deserve exists to elect young compelling candidates who will actually fight for working families and against corrupt status quo politics — and Patrick Roath is exactly that kind of candidate,” said Leaders We Deserve President and Co-Founder David Hogg. “He understands the affordability crisis, he rejects corporate PAC money, and he's ready to deliver on housing, childcare, and health care. Stephen Lynch voted to thank ICE and against the Affordable Care Act; it's beyond time for new leadership."

The endorsement follows last week's endorsement from former Governor Deval Patrick and endorsements from ten local elected officials across the district. The endorsements come ahead of the first candidate forum of the cycle, being hosted on Thursday, January 29. Register here for more details.

PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS OF MASSACHUSETTS ENDORSES DAN KOH

 PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS OF MASSACHUSETTS ENDORSES DAN KOH

 “Our members know that when issues arise, Dan delivers results,”

says MacKinnon, Jr.


Andover, MA – Today, the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) announced their endorsement of Dan Koh in the Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District primary. Founded in 1945, PFFM represents more than 13,000 firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics across the Commonwealth.


"Firefighters know the difference between elected officials who show up only at election time and those who put in the work every day. Dan Koh has always been the latter. Our members know that when issues arise, Dan delivers results,” said Rich MacKinnon, Jr., President of the PFFM. 


Koh emphasized his gratitude for the endorsement, recognizing the role unions will play in his fight to bring down prices and fight for families in the Sixth District.


"I am honored to have the endorsement of PFFM," Koh commented. "Firefighters and first responders are heroes who risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe. They deserve a leader who will advocate for their union rights and their families. I’m excited to work alongside PFFM and create brighter futures for Massachusetts residents, especially here in the Sixth District."


Koh’s campaign has gained critical momentum thanks to the support of over twenty local community leaders, over thirteen union locals, and Vice President Kamala Harris, while raising a record-breaking $2M+ in its first fundraising quarter, a record for an MA House campaign.

麻州長Healey 、波士頓市長吳弭同聲譴責ICE濫殺無辜

         Boston Orange編譯)ICE執法過激,1月份內連續發生已至少3起開槍事件,導致2人死亡,麻州州長奚莉(Maura Healey)和波士頓市長吳弭(Michelle Wu)今(25)日先後發表聲明譴責。

奚莉州長說,「夠了,停止吧!」。川普總統和國土安全局局長Kristi Noem得把ICE探員召回去了。又有一個人被槍殺了。ICE不僅讓人更不安全,簡直就是對美國人身心健康安全的威脅,而且他們還消耗掉了那些知道自己在做什麼的執法人員的資源。我們和明尼蘇達州人民站在一起。川普總統必須聽聽Walz州長的話,現在就終止行動。

川普政府的“大而美預算案”撥給國土安全局1750億元額外資金,其中約750億元就是撥給ICE,大約300億元將用於執法和驅逐,在一年增聘了12,000名探員,還撥出135億元,要發給願意配合聯邦政府行動的州。

波士頓市長吳弭則說,聯邦探員又在明尼蘇達州街頭做出致命暴力的駭人事件。所有的美國人都必須要求川普政府終止這在雙子城的導致人死亡,非法,違憲行動。危險聯邦政府持續入侵我們城市的行為,必須停止。與全44個城市攜手,支持發起聯邦訴訟,終止在明尼蘇達州的非法ICE行動激增。 我們的Alex Pretti人民他們我們這場,以及不必要的死亡再次我們敦促法院立即採取行動暴力結束佔領協助的地方領袖恢復這些社區和平

今年1月以來,ICE在明尼蘇達州執法,連續發生2宗開槍殺人案。第一宗發生在17日,37歲的3子之母,也是法律觀察員的Renee Good,在ICE探員朝她走去時,試圖開車離去,國土安全局稱ICE探員Jonathan Ross當時以為Renee Good是要開車撞人,於是開槍自衛,但隨後流傳出來的許多現場路人影片,卻顯示Renee Good只是開車要從現場離開,全美各地湧現的「ICE, Out for Good」的大規模諧音抗議。

昨(24)日早上,竟然又發生一宗ICE不當執法案件。37歲的當地退伍軍人醫院加護病房護理師Alex Jeffrey PrettiICE執行搜捕行動時,試圖保護一名被推倒在地的女性,社交媒體上傳出來的影片顯示,當時Alex Jeffrey Pretti右手拿著手機錄影,左手高舉,多名探員包圍他,噴灑胡椒,還開了槍。

聯邦法官Eric Rostrud已於昨日下午簽署了緊急臨時限制令,禁止國土安全局銷毀或更改任何與Alex Jeffrey Pretti槍擊案相關的證據。

 

Governor Healey Issues Statement on Minnesota Shooting 

BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement after federal agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis: 

“Just stop. Enough is enough. President Trump and Kristi Noem need to call ICE agents back. These rogue federal agents do not belong on our streets. Another person shot dead. ICE is not just making us less safe — they’re a threat to the safety and wellbeing of Americans. And they’re draining the resources of law enforcement who actually know what they’re doing. It’s outrageous. We stand with the people of Minnesota. President Trump needs to listen to Governor Walz and end this operation now.” 


Michelle Wu

After another gruesome act of fatal violence by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis, all Americans must demand that the Trump Administration end its deadly, unlawful, and unconstitutional occupation of the Twin Cities.

The ongoing invasion of our cities by a dangerous and out-of-control federal administration must be stopped. This week, the City of Boston led 44 cities around the country in supporting the federal lawsuit to end the illegal ICE surge in Minnesota.

Our hearts are with Alex Pretti’s loved ones and the people of Minnesota and we share their grief. While we mourn once again a tragic and needless death, we urge the court to take immediate action to stop the violence, end the occupation, and help local leaders in the Twin Cities restore peace to these communities under siege.
