OutPost Naponsett Nibi (“that place there where water crosses”) owns, preserves, and amplifies Mattapan, MA as ‘a good place to be’ -- to make that the cultural marker for our community.

OutPost Naponsett Nibi is an arts-driven network creating collaborative outdoor space for artistic play, creative expression, social activism and civic engagement.   Our name, Naponsett Nibi, pays homage to the Neponset River as an under-appreciated cultural asset, affirming its beauty, its history, and the critical relationship between the river’s health and community resilience here in Mattapan, MA.   Always/Already drawing inspiration from our indigenous and African ancestors, our lead artists are committed to bringing their studio, social, and civic praxes to bear on the collaborative work/play that occurs here.    

Outpost Naponsett Nibi is a transit-oriented, 5K square-foot open-air art space located at 7 Riverbank Place in Mattapan, MA.  It is a seasonal venue for live arts and creative expression focused on building community through the arts.  All are welcome.
