About
Behind VA Shadows is an artists-run public art project founded in December 2021 by a group of Visitor Assistants at the ICA,Boston. Our initiative aims to break down barriers between art and the public, showcasing the creative work of museum workers while extending accessibility beyond institutional walls. By holding the alternative space for the public to engage with the creative identity of museum workers, we advocate for communal care to counter the issues of burnout within art museums and institutions.
We are located at the corner of Mass Ave and 2 Linden St, 02138, Harvard Sq in Cambridge.
