We're back with another indoor pop-up (woot woot)! In colloboration with BioMed Realty, we are popping-up at 500 Kendall Street in Kendall Square. We have all the past pop-up favorites and many new fun additions. There are tons of events, free coffee and tea, and space to hang out. Be sure to come visit us!

City Hall Plaza – April 20, 2019

With the support of the Boston Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture, CultureHouse brought GIANT corn hole, trampolines, and a living room complete with a pop-up pupper to City Hall Plaza. It was a day of fun in the midst of the busy city where visitors jumped, played, and learned about the importance of human scale in urban design.

Union Square Holiday Stroll – December 2018

CultureHouse brought warmth to the Union Square Neighborhood Association’s Holiday Stroll, putting a fire pit in our living room and smores in our bellies. In the cold depths of winter, its more important than ever to leave your house and spend time with friends, family, and assorted strangers.

Cambridge PARK(ing) Day – September 21, 2018

CultureHouse joined the Cambridge Community Development Department’s PARK(ing) Day celebration, the local expression of a global movement to reclaim parking spaces for people. Our pop-up living room, complete with games, trampolines, and snacks, was just one of many amazing temporary parks created by community members.

Bow Market – July 2018

CultureHouse opened our first indoor community space at Bow Market in Union Square, Somerville. This one-month iteration allowed us to test out our ideas, garner feedback, and reflect on our progress. With swings, games, books, and trampolines, it wasn’t hard to sell the space to kids – but it was just as easy to convince adults that it was time to play!

Allston – April 8, 2018

Our second pop up, at Jackson Mann Plaza in Allston, enabled community members to interact with each other and learn more about CultureHouse and our girls. We hosted our living-room pop up filled with seating, games and warm beverages for the cool April day. This pop up alerted us to a very important issue: the need for a dog friendly space at CultureHouse!

Central Square – December 18, 2017

For our first ever pop-up, CultureHouse set up an outdoor living room in Jill Brown Rhone Park in Cambridge’s Central Square. Despite the 28˚F weather, visitors loved our living room, our tropical beach-themed photo booth, and our large prompt board - demonstrating the need for more welcoming public spaces and more activation of outdoor spaces in the winter months. Check our recap of the pop-up here.
