Art in the Park at the Boston Harbor Islands

Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area

Join our volunteers on the Boston Harbor Islands to create your very own piece of artwork!

Connect with the harbor and islands as you learn how to write a nature-inspired haiku, use watercolor paints, or experiment with photosensitive paper. Art in the Park is one of the weekly programs offered throughout the summer season on the Boston Harbor Islands. For more information on available programs including dates, times, and locations, check out the Boston Harbor Islands calendar. If you are interested in helping to facilitate these activities, check out our current volunteering opportunities on the Boston Harbor Islands Volunteer Page. Art in the Park activities have ended for the 2025 season. Please stay tuned for information on the 2026 season.
