The Harvard Ed Portal is a vibrant space that fosters learning and exploration for Allston-Brighton

Located at the crossroads of the North Allston-Brighton neighborhood and Harvard’s campus, the Ed Portal serves as a physical place for members of the Allston-Brighton and Harvard communities to come together to share ideas and learn from one another. The Ed Portal fosters innovative ways of learning and provides programming in creative and performing arts; science and technology; wellness and recreation; and economic, workforce, and professional development for learners of all ages.

Not all of you come to the Ed Portal for the same reason. Some arrive for art, others for career skills, wellness, or a place for your kids to learn.

What you find is a welcoming space right here in the neighborhood, where people of all ages come to share ideas, learn, and grow—together.

Start anywhere this January! We’re glad you’re here. ✨

Meet our next Crossings Gallery Artist, Yi Cynthia Chen!

Chen, based out of Brighton, MA, uses oil painting to explore dynamics between social constructs, daily experiences, and mental and ecological health. These dreamlike paintings invite you to linger in a world where reality and imagination blend, and everyday details—sunflowers, tangled roots, torrential water—become gateways to deeper questions.

We're excited to have Chen's, Reaching through Fog: Opaque Paintings, on display starting October 30 through December 17. Be sure to join us for our Gallery Reception and Artist Talk on Wednesday, November 5!

Visit the link in our bio for more information and RSVP for next week's event.
