This collaborative effort features a national Request For Qualifications (RFQ), with a two-phase artist selection process led by a panel of Boston’s community leaders, artists, and cultural stakeholders. Five finalists will be awarded $5,000 to develop and submit full mural proposals, and the selected artist or artist team will receive a $25,000 commission along with a $50,000 production budget.
About the Dewey Square Mural

| Various Dewey Square Murals, 2012-2024. |
Previously commissioned artists include Os Gemeos (2012), Matthew Ritchie (2013), Shinique Smith (2014), Lawrence Weiner (2015), Mehdi Ghadyanloo (2016), Shara Hughes (2018), Super A (2019), Daniel Gordon (2021), and Jeffrey Gibson (2024). In 2022, Boston-based artist Problak and the GN Crew made history as the first local artist team to be featured, launching a mural beloved by Boston’s communities, and which stayed on view for 24 months, the longest run in the program’s history.
About the 2026 Open Call
For 2026, The Greenway, Embrace, and Everyone250 reimagine this commission as an open call—welcoming artists nationwide to apply to help mark this pivotal anniversary. The selected mural will respond to this moment of national reflection by engaging with the spirit of revolution, belonging, and democracy in Boston, New England, and beyond, through celebrating voices, stories, and communities often excluded from the dominant narrative, as well as envisioning the next 250 years of Boston.
Unveiled in the lead-up to the 250th anniversary, the mural will serve as a catalyst for conversations about how Boston’s past, present, and future intersect on its streets and in its shared spaces.
The 2026 Dewey Square Artist Selection Panel comprises a distinguished group of regional arts and culture leaders, artists, and community members, including Jha D Amazi, Ché Anderson, Tessa Bachi Haas, L'Merchie Frazier, Jameson Johnson, Kenny Mascary, Jeneé Osterheldt, Jasper A. Sanchez, Lisa Tung, and Zhidong Zhang. More information about the Selection Panel can be found on our webpage here.
In Phase I, artists from across the country will be invited to submit an application to the Open Call Request for Qualifications. The Selection Panel will choose five finalists who will each be awarded $5,000 to develop and submit full mural proposals. During Phase II, the Panel will evaluate the finalists’ mural proposals and select one artist or artist team to commission for the 2026 Dewey Square Mural. The commissioned artist will receive a $25,000 artist fee, along with a $50,000 production budget. Additionally, the four runner-up finalists will be invited to display their mural proposals and additional artwork on large-scale stanchions at Dewey Square Plaza from June 2026 – December 2026, creating further opportunities for public engagement.
“We’re thrilled to launch the first-ever open call process for the Dewey Square Mural in collaboration with our partners at Embrace and Everyone250,” said Dr. Audrey N. Lopez, Director and Curator of Public Art at the Greenway Conservancy. “Artists have historically played a critical role in nurturing healthy, thriving democracies; their practices, visions, and care are needed now more than ever as we begin to shape the next 250 years of our country.”
She continues: “Boston is both a home and a launching pad for so many deeply thoughtful and tenacious artists, and we’re excited to invite them via the open call into imagining how this space can represent our city and communities as we approach the anniversary of the nation’s founding.”
“The Dewey Square Mural provides artists the opportunity to not only create a monumental work that reflects upon Boston’s history, communities, and cultures, but also one that collectively envisions the next 250 years of our city’s future,” said Liz Tiblanc, Vice President of Arts & Culture for Embrace. “We are proud to be partners in this project, and support public art that honors these stories in the heart of our city.”
Stay connected with updates on these and related public programs as they are announced throughout the fall on our social media channels: @greenwaypublicart, @embracebos, and @everyone_250.

Healey-Driscoll Administration Releases Comprehensive Strategy for Coastal Protection
The ResilientCoasts Plan will guide communities in protecting people, infrastructure, and coastal environments from worsening flooding and erosion over the next 50 years
CHELSEA—Today, the Healey-Driscoll Administration released the final ResilientCoasts Plan – a comprehensive statewide strategy designed to help coastal communities protect residents, strengthen local infrastructure, and safeguard Massachusetts’ natural resources..jpg)
Developed with direct input from local officials, residents, and regional partners, the plan provides practical, community-driven steps to prepare for future storms, flooding, sea level rise, and erosion – while saving taxpayers billions through smart investments made now.
“This plan is about helping people and local businesses stay safe and save money,” said Governor Maura Healey. “When we invest in stronger roads, flood protections, and coastal restoration, we’re not just preventing damage – we’re protecting livelihoods.”
“How to protect our homes, businesses, and working waterfronts was always top of mind during my time as mayor,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “This plan takes that local perspective and turns it into real, actionable steps for every coastal community. It gives municipalities the support and guidance they need to strengthen their future.”
Research shows that every $1 invested in resilience can yield about $13 in benefits and avoided recovery costs, and communities that delay action risk losing up to $33 in future economic activity for every dollar not invested. The ResilientCoasts Plan supports cities and towns in planning and prioritizing the projects that matter most – stronger shorelines, better storm protection, and safer roads.
The plan is designed to support local decision-making and make it easier for towns and regions to access funding, share data, and coordinate projects. It lays out the steps to protect people and property, strengthen infrastructure, and preserve natural buffers like dunes, wetlands, and salt marshes that reduce flood risks.
Over the past two decades, Massachusetts has invested nearly $200 million in local resilience projects across 98 coastal communities. Governor Healey’s Mass Ready Act advances many ResilientCoasts recommendations, including authorizing $200 million for near-term coastal resilience projects. In addition, Mass Ready moves forward several of the plan’s policy recommendations that will also advance resilience statewide, including requiring flood disclosure to ensure residents are aware of flood risks before they purchase or lease a home, adding resilience expertise to the board that oversees updates to the state building code, streamlining permitting for nature-based solutions, and creating a new Resilience Revolving Fund to provide low-interest loans for municipal projects that protect communities and prevent future damage, such as floodplain protection and nature-based solutions.
“Our coastal communities can’t wait for the next big storm to act,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “This plan gives us the tools to be ready – to protect lives, homes, and local economies and to build the kind of resilience that will carry us through the next 50 years.”
“We heard directly from residents, scientists, and local officials across our coast, and their input shaped every part of this plan,” said Coastal Zone Management Director Alison Brizius. “People see what’s happening – the flooding, the erosion, the stronger storms – and they want action. ResilientCoasts reflects that urgency and provides a framework for protecting our coastlines and fighting climate impacts head-on.”
Regional Collaboration
The plan identifies 15 Coastal Resilience Districts, grouping nearby cities and towns that share common characteristics like landform type, natural environment, built infrastructure, population and development character, and coastal risks. The purpose of these districts is to promote regional collaboration, inform prioritization of district-scale coastal resilience projects, and help prevent redundant efforts. In addition, data sharing, collaborative risk assessment, and tracking of progress on coastal resilience will be improved across communities.
Near-Term Adaptation Areas
Within the Coastal Resilience Districts, the plan identifies Near-Term Adaptation Areas with high concentrations of people and housing, development and infrastructure, and/or economic resources expected to be exposed to coastal flooding by the 2030s. Identification of these areas helps direct limited resources where they will make the biggest difference for residents and local economies – for example, in areas with high concentrations of critical local and regional infrastructure at risk.
Targeted Solutions
The plan provides guidance on a suite of resilience measures that can be applied across different coastal landscapes with a focus on areas along the immediate shoreline or within the coastal floodplain where the highest risks coincide with vulnerable development. Examples include:

MIPIM expands Challengers programme to empower the next generation of industry leaders
High-resolution photo can be downloaded here
London, 06 November 2025. MIPIM, the global urban festival, announces a major expansion of its MIPIM Challengers programme, an initiative designed to foster inclusivity and elevate emerging talent within the built environment sector.
Following the successful introduction of the programme, which spotlighted 15 rising professionals in 2024 and 16 in 2025, MIPIM will welcome up to 40 Challengers in 2026, marking the programme’s largest cohort to date. This expansion reflects MIPIM’s ongoing commitment to cultivating a more diverse and globally representative industry.
This year’s programme features a simplified and more accessible application process, enabling companies to nominate their most promising talent. These rising stars will act as visible ambassadors for their organisations at MIPIM. Self-nominations are also encouraged.
Selected Challengers will receive a complimentary delegate pass to attend MIPIM, along with exclusive benefits, including preferential accommodation rates. Participants will take part in MIPIM conference roundtables and contribute to a thought leadership paper alongside senior executives from the world’s most influential property companies. They will also attend a dedicated networking cocktail event, an opportunity to build meaningful industry connections and friendships.
In addition, Challengers will participate in a bespoke leadership development course designed to prepare them for future opportunities. This includes three personalised coaching webinars and an on-site training session on AI implementation.
Following MIPIM, selected Challengers will be invited to produce exclusive insights, which will be published across MIPIM’s global network, giving them a powerful opportunity to showcase their thought leadership and influence the international real estate community.
Nicolas Boffi, MIPIM Director, said:
"MIPIM has long been a gathering place for seasoned professionals in real estate, but if we want the industry to evolve and stay relevant, we need to make space for fresh thinking and the next generation of leaders. That is why the Challengers programme matters. It brings in bold, young voices who challenge the status quo and offer new perspectives.
Since launching in 2025, we have seen immediate impact: some of our first Challengers returned the following year not just as attendees, but as experts, joining panels and mentoring the next cohort. In 2026, we are expanding the programme to welcome even more rising talent. I’m excited to see how they’ll shape the conversations at MIPIM and help drive the industry forward.”
How to apply
Candidates or their employers need to submit a short statement (up to 200 words) responding to the prompt:
“Tell us why you or the person you nominate should be selected as a MIPIM Challenger. Highlight recent achievements, leadership experience, and how you or your nominee are contributing to shaping the future of the built environment.”
This year, MIPIM is placing strategic focus on initiatives related to residential development, data centres, equality of opportunity, healthcare, and artificial intelligence.
Eligibility criteria
The MIPIM Challengers programme is open to young professionals under the age of 31 (as of 31 March 2026) who are passionate about shaping the future of the built environment and have not previously attended MIPIM.
A new element of the programme requires Challengers to nominate two senior executives from their organisation as part of the application. If selected, the Challenger will take part in a pre-MIPIM interview with one of their nominated executives, discussing the future of real estate. These interviews will be shared across MIPIM’s channels.
Full eligibility criteria and the submission form are available here: https://www.mipim.com/en-gb/
About MIPIM Challengers
The first MIPIM Challengers initiative was introduced in 2023, attracting over 150 submissions from 20 countries, including Mauritius, South Africa and the United States.
The 2024 cohort formed the first part of the MIPIM Challengers Network, an ongoing forum that enables participants to stay in touch, build long-term relationships, and support future generations of built environment trailblazers.
The MIPIM Challengers initiative has already proven to be a powerful platform for career growth and recognition. Rachel Munro, Senior Associate at Shoosmiths, was nominated for Inspiring Women in Property, and architect Federica Sanchez from Lombardini22 gained major visibility for her neuroscience work.
Submissions are open on the MIPIM website till 21 November 2025.
The winners will be announced in December 2025.

Beheard.world 總監兼編舞安娜·邁爾 （Anna Myer） 表示，《How We Go》的靈感來自來自這個地區的移民和藝術家通過動作和聲音聚集在一起的想法。“我希望不同的樂器來代表波士頓周圍孤立的地方，”她說。“合作是我們前進的方式——也是我們都應該的前進方式。”
在安娜邁爾和 beheard.world 的電影製作總監傑伊·帕里斯 （Jay Paris） 選擇樂器後，作曲家內特·塔克 （Nate Tucker）把風笛，大提琴，鋼琴，頌缽，古典吉他和人生口技等看似極不協調的樂器融合爲一體，藉以代表不同地區社群融合而成波士頓。
塔克多年來一直與波士頓和劍橋的許多舞蹈團合作，為合作項目創作原創配樂。他最近的其他委託作品包括Jean Appolon Expressions、Public Displays of Motion 和 Continuum Dance Project 的作品
《How We Go》還重新收錄了 beheard.world 最近巡迴演出作品《歸屬與他者（Belonging and Othering）》的一部分，Myer 說這激發了《How We Go》的更深入探索。《歸屬與他者》的創作始於作品中的舞者根據被「他者」或被排斥的人的故事編排獨舞。邁爾從獨舞的部分部分編排，將整個劇團的動作交織在一起。beheard.world 公司將表演較大作品的團體部分（稱為“歸屬感”）。這是我們如何更好地共同生活的想法的自然進展。
舞蹈中心執行藝術總監彼得·迪穆羅 （Peter DiMuro） 表示，他觀察了 beheard.world 十多年來的旅程。“時間證明，他們獨特地融合了社會意識、藝術和工藝，為熱愛舞蹈的社區以及我們今天生活在美國的所有人創造了具有巨大影響的作品，”迪穆羅說。“舞蹈中心是各行各業的人們來表達真實自我的地方，”他說，“但同樣經常我們手牽手創作一種我們無法單獨創作的新舞蹈。
《How We Go》的製作經費，部分來自新英格蘭藝術基金會的新英格蘭州巡迴計劃，以及國家藝術基金會和六個新英格蘭州藝術機構。
“世界聽著（Beheard World）”舞團的首演新作“我們做得如何（How We Go）”，將於11 月 22 日（週六） 晚上 8 點和11 月 23 日（週日） 晚上 7 點，在The Dance Complex (536 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge)演出，購票可上網dancecomplex.org/events。
Two performances at Cambridge’s Dance Complex November 22 and 23.
Beheard.world Director and Choreographer Anna Myer says “How We Go” is inspired by the idea of immigrants and artists from around the region coming together through movement and sound. “I wanted different instruments to represent places around Boston that are siloed,” she says. “Working together is how we go — and how we should all go.”
“We thought…what might a bagpiper from Salem have to say to a flamenco guitarist from a Latine community?” Myer says. “How could a classically trained cellist from New Bedford work with a beatboxer from Lawrence? None of that should go together — and that’s the point.”
After Myer and beheard.world’s Director of Filmmaking Jay Paris chose the instruments (Myer always wanted to choreograph to bagpipe music and Paris documented the creative process for a short film that introduces the work), composer Nate Tucker orchestrated the ensemble into a seamless score. Myer says Tucker’s process was collaborative and exploratory. “None of the musicians had ever worked with a group like this — it pushed everyone out of their comfort zones,” she says. “Nate layered sounds and built the piece organically.” Tucker has worked for years with many dance companies in Boston and Cambridge, creating original scores for collaborative projects. Among his other recent commissions are works for Jean Appolon Expressions, Public Displays of Motion, and Continuum Dance Project.
Once the music work was underway, Myer’s choreographic approach began with prompts for her dancers and a desire to make emotional connections with the music and the stories behind it. “I give dancers phrases and ask them to create movements from the heart,” she says. “I love layering different dance styles — it’s like painting with lots of colors and textures. Very much like the music we were working with.”
“Anna’s work sneaks up on you emotionally,” Paris says. “She overlays movement and music in ways that surprise audiences and go straight to their hearts.” “Beheard.world has always been about bringing people together through art and emotion,” Myer says. “My mission is to make people feel.”
“How We Go" also features a partial remount of beheard.world’s recent touring work, “Belonging and Othering,” which Myer says inspired the deeper dive “How We Go” takes. The creation of “Belonging and Othering” began when dancers in the piece choreographed solos inspired by the stories of people who had been “othered” or ostracized. Myer built choreography from parts of the solos, interlacing the movements for the whole troupe. The beheard.world company will perform the group section (called “Belonging”) of the larger piece. It was a natural progression to this idea of how we can live together better.”
Myer says both pieces in the show are intended to be art and social statements. In a climate increasingly hostile to diversity and inclusion, she and Paris see their work as a reaffirmation of community. “In this world of anti-DEI,” Paris says, “the reality is that DEI is critically important. We don’t have to be ashamed of it — it’s who we are and who we all should be.”
The Dance Complex Executive Artistic Director Peter DiMuro says he has observed beheard.world's journey for over a decade. "Time has proven that their unique blend of social awareness, artistry and craft create works of great impact for the dance-loving community, and for all of us living in America today,” DiMuro says. “The Dance Complex is where people from all walks of life come to express their true selves,” he says, “but just as often we hold hands to make a new dance we couldn't make alone.”
TICKETS AND SCHEDULE: “How We Go” runs Sat, Nov 22 @ 8 pm and Sun, Nov 23 @ 7 pm at The Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. Tickets start at $18 and are available at dancecomplex.org.
