Artist Panel & Projection Premiere: From Muralismo to "The Midnight Ride"

Join us on Thursday, October 15, to hear 2026 Dewey Square muralist, Rixy (@rixyxir) in conversation with projection artist Pamela Hersch (@herschvisuals). Together they'll explore the the relationship between large-scale public murals and thriving democracies. This artist panel will kick off a 6-month nightly projection onto Rixy’s “The Midnight Ride,” bringing the mural to life in Downtown Boston.
Enjoy music from DJ Oyade (@oyadethedj) and live band FM Collective (@fmcollective), grab a bite from our food trucks, and be one of the first to view the new illumination of “The Midnight Ride.”

💚 We hope to see you there!
