Ron Mallis is founder and executive director of BostonAPP/Lab, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused in incubating new collaborations that support and sustain a robust environment for art in Greater Boston’s public places. Through nearly three dozen (and counting) workshops, or “brainstorming hubs,” the Lab has worked with a variety of civic and arts organizations to explore opportunities for experimentation, for community-building, for making art.

He is a member of the Boston Arts Academy Foundation Board of Ambassadors, and a member of the Operator Consortium for the Cambridge Foundry Project.

Since starting the Lab, Ron has collaborated with or led forums by such groups as CultureNOW, Code for Boston, Boston Arts Academy, the Boston Sculptors Gallery, Artists for Humanity, Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, Mass Association of CDCs, Emerson’s Engagement Lab, and others. And always with this question hovering nearby: "What can we do together that we can't do separately?"
