Guided Tours- Esplanade Art in the Park

ABOUT THE ART IN THE PARK&nbsp;TOUR Explore the variety of public art featured along the Charles River Esplanade through the Esplanade Association’s Art in the Park Guided Tour! Since 2017, the Esplanade Association has commissioned 4 public murals from 4 women-identifying artists on the Esplanade including Habitation by Sophy Tuttle Patterned Behavior by Sylvia Lopez Chavez, Rain River by Solei, and Untitled by Ann Lewis. By experiencing our Art in the Park Guided Tour, you’ll learn about the artists behind these mesmerizing art murals, their inspiration behind each mural, and more! The Esplanade Association’s Guided Tours typically last 90 minutes and cover about a mile of the Esplanade. Your suggested donation of $10 would support the Esplanade Association's work to revitalize, enhance, program and maintain the Charles River Esplanade. Thank you!
