About Classroom to the Streets (CTTS)
CTTS is an educational program and teacher fellowship where we partner with schools to bring public art to the classroom setting with curriculum and mural tours with thousands of students.
CTTS uses the power of public art to transform learning, deepen community connections, and inspire change. By bringing students, educators, and artists together, we turn the streets into classrooms– empowering the exploration of identity, culture, and community through art.
Each year of CTTS, visiting artists create building-sized artworks in collaboration with Lynn Educators and High School Junior Fellows. Prior to the Two week installation period in Lynn, cohorts meet and ideate the mural concepts over a shared prompt. The result… stunning artworks reflective of the ideas, community feedback, and youth experiences from Lynn students.

About Beyond Walls:
We are a Massachusetts-based nonprofit organization dedicated to our mission of activating public spaces to strengthen communities through large-scale, world-class public art.

We integrate public art and curated experiences into the fabric of the communities we are invited to serve.
Working in close partnership with local stakeholders, artists, and technical experts, we plan, design, and implement impactful projects that transform shared spaces and elevate place-based identity.

From United Lynn Pride: As part of Pride Month activities, the Lynn Museum & Arts Center (LMAC) along with United Lynn Pride (ULP) have teamed up for their 6th annual Lynn PRIDE gallery show. This gallery show will run from June 26 through October 10 in the Museum building’s second-floor community gallery.

Authentically YOU is a gallery theme that celebrates the full spectrum of queer identity, expression, and becoming. The concept centers on self‑definition, visibility, and the courage it takes to live as your truest self in a world that often demands conformity. It invites artists and viewers alike to step into a space where queerness is not explained or defended — it is lived, felt, and honored.
An opening reception will be held as part of “Final Fridays: Pride Xtravaganza” on June 26 from 5-9pm, more details TBA.
