Know Before You Go / Event Details

This event will occur mostly outdoors and will involve walking or rolling to the nearby greenspaces in the Fenway/Mission Hill neighborhood within a 10 minute walk (.5 mile radius) from MAAM.

This event will start and end at MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), located at 621 Huntington Avenue. Restrooms, water, and locker storage will be available upon check-in, however the exhibition galleries will not be open. After check-in at MAAM, we will head outside.
