Celebrating Recognition: The Projection Studio Wins “Putting Boston on the Map” Award

We’re thrilled to share that The Projection Studio has been recognised at the Best of Boston Awards, winning the “Putting Boston on the Map” accolade for our work on Boston Brilliance, a stunning projection mapping project that lit up the town’s heritage and united the community through creativity, storytelling and shared pride.

Hosted by Boston Vibe, the award celebrates organisations and partnerships that have elevated Boston’s cultural and artistic identity. For us, this recognition is more than just a trophy it’s a meaningful validation of the hard work, creativity and passion that drive everything we do.

A Moment of Pride for Everyone Involved

Boston Brilliance was an extraordinary collaboration that brought together artists, technicians, and local partners to create a large-scale projection mapping experience celebrating Boston’s history and community spirit. Working with incredible partners including Boston College and Boston Vibe, we transformed the town centre into a living piece of art, a moment that will be remembered for years to come.

“Boston Brilliance was such an inspiring event for our college students and the town. Having the opportunity to work alongside The Projection Studio and world-class artists to illuminate our important heritage gave them an experience that truly brought pride in place, for them and the community,” said Claire Foster, Principal and Chief Executive of Boston College.

“Through stunning projections, innovative partnerships, and a shared vision to celebrate Boston’s rich heritage, Boston Brilliance quite literally illuminated the best of our town,” added Nathan Bryant, Director of Boston Vibe.

What This Award Means to Us

For our team at The Projection Studio, this award is a moment of reflection and motivation. Projection mapping is a blend of art and precision, every project involves countless hours of planning, testing and collaboration. To see that effort recognised publicly and to know it made such a positive impact, is incredibly rewarding.

This recognition reaffirms why we do what we do: to use light, storytelling and technology to connect people to places in meaningful ways. It validates our continued pursuit of excellence, pushing boundaries, embracing innovation, and helping communities see their surroundings in new and inspiring ways.

“Awards like this remind us that the long nights and detailed technical work all matter, because at the end of it, we get to create something that moves people,” says the team. “It motivates us to keep getting better, collaborating more, and delivering projects that truly make a difference.”

Looking Ahead: Continuing to Illuminate Stories

As we look to the year ahead, The Projection Studio remains committed to creating immersive projection mapping experiences that bring communities together and celebrate cultural identity. The recognition from the Best of Boston Awards inspires us to keep exploring how projection on buildings can be used not just as a medium for art, but as a tool for connection, collaboration, and pride.
