  2. Onsite workshops to test and revise tools while teaching staff how to fully use tools

Samples from an Oakley Toolkit for Partnership + Engagement, customized for Now + There as they prepare to launch Boston’s 2025 Public Art Triennial

In 2023, Now + There first used their Oakley Toolkit when opening Lot Lab — a new community art space in Charlestown Navy Yard

Beau's process was rigorous yet playful and inquisitive—he always knew the right questions to ask in order to get our entire team and board thinking outside the box and focused on the future.
