2026 Rat City Gala + Gallery
About this Event
The Rat City Arts Festival welcomes neighbors to put on their best Rat City Chic and come view local art from local artists! This year's theme? THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
The Rat Traps
Do you wonder how local artists beautify rat traps? Should rat traps be beautified? All of these questions can be answered by attending the Rat City Gala + Gallery. Do not miss out on celebrating the 2026 Rat Trap Class by viewing their final rat trap pieces of art!
Rat Trap Artists as Vendors
Not only will we present our beautified Rat Traps, but also have many of our Rat Trap artists in attendance as vendors for further support.
Return of the Rat Wall
In addition to our Rat Traps, we will once again feature our Rat Wall of locally sourced sketches. These sketches will follow our theme of "The Hippocratic Oath" and will be available for purchase. All purchases from our Rat Wall will benefit our Emerging Artist Grant that supports local artists.
Awarding our Neighbors
The Rat City Gala & Gallery will also present the Mr. Rymkus Award celebrating a local neighbor who has focused on rat mitigation. The award is named after Mr. Rymkus, a local from Allston Brighton and the famous winner of Boston's1917 Rat Catching Competition, along with additional rat history.
Following the Mr. Rymkus Award will be our Artist Advocate Award that celebrates local neighbors who have championed causes in our artist community.
Light Food & Beverages Served
Food (In honor of Pizza Rat) and non-alcoholic beverages (served in flutes for classiness) will be served.
