The Blue Hill Observatory is not only a place of scientific discovery—it is also a place of creative exploration.
Located above the historic Observer’s Room, a dedicated space is being developed for our Artist-in-Residence Exhibit, where art and science meet at the summit.
Coming Soon: Artist-in-Residence Exhibit
Opening Soon: A new exhibition space featuring rotating work from artists engaging with weather, climate, and the Observatory’s 140+ year record.
This unique exhibit will showcase work created through our Artist-in-Residence program—bringing new perspectives to the data, history, and lived experience of weather observation.

In Development
Working Studio Presence
During select periods, visiting artists may be working on-site, offering visitors a rare opportunity to see creative process unfolding within a living laboratory.
Future Programming
Talks & Public Programs
Planned artist talks, workshops, and collaborative events will connect visitors more deeply to both the science and the creative interpretation of climate and weather.
The Space
The Artist-in-Residence Exhibit is located one level above the Observer’s Room—placing it at the heart of the Observatory’s scientific work while offering a new lens through which to experience it.
This setting reflects the Observatory’s identity as a living laboratory, where data, observation, and interpretation continuously evolve—not only through science, but through creative expression.
Artist-in-Residence Program
The exhibit is part of a broader Artist-in-Residence program that invites artists to engage deeply with the Observatory’s work, history, and datasets.
The Artist-in-Residence Exhibit will be included as part of the Observatory experience during public hours. Access details will be updated as the space opens.
