This mixed-media sculpture was created at The Foundry by Wen-hao Tien, a long-time Cambridge artist. Tien captures the nuances of cultures from her multicultural neighbors and in their own handwriting. Does culture color our views? What lens do you look through? This co-creating project is an evolving sculpture. Tien welcomes your participation and can be reached here. For more information about the project, visit Tien's website.
This is an outdoor exhibit open 24/7
You can reserve the Community Hall, Demonstration Kitchen, Performance Space, Dance Studio, Multipurpose Rooms, and Workshops for your needs.

Learn MoreCan I bring food to The Foundry?
Yes, you can bring food to The Foundry and eat in any of the rooms except the maker spaces. If you are looking to bring in catering for an event, we do not have any restrictions on who you work with.
Where can I store my belongings while I'm attending an event or class?
Participants are welcome to store their belongings in the room they're in for a program. There are also public lockers available across from the first-floor bathrooms.
How do I get there using public transit?
The building is 0.4 miles away from the Kendall MIT stop where you can catch the red line and 64, 68, 85, CT2, 64, 68, and 85 buses. The building is 0.5 miles away from the Lechmere stop where you can catch the green line and 69, 80, 87, and 88 buses. You can find walking directions to The Foundry here.
What is the parking situation like?
We don't have designated parking, so your best bet would be finding public parking on the neighboring streets (Third St, Rogers St, Fifth Street). There are also a number of parking garages in the area if you need a longer term solution. We have a loading area if you need to pick up or drop off large objects, but you'll need to find parking after dropping off. See parking options here.
We believe in doing what we can to keep our most vulnerable community members safe. We follow local city and state regulations. Our staff is fully vaccinated and we encourage the use of masks indoors. Shops are cleaned after each use.
