I am lucky to live near enough to enjoy this engaging exhibit throughout July and August. Before June ends, I’m posting quotes, links and a few samples to lead you there in person or at least online! “Studios Without Walls, a Brookline nonprofit, is sponsoring Dream Upon the River, its 26th annual exhibition. Twenty-one local artists have created site-specific works of art that will remain on view at Riverway Park throughout the summer.” (till Sept 1)
Quotes, notes, links from first visit, with hopes of more to come: “Our newest interactive public art project, presented in partnership with Harvard EdPortal. On view at 224 Western Ave, Allston, MA, from May 2, 2025 to April 2026” (quote from Non Issue Studio: Swap Boxes)
On May 25, a wondrously worthwhile walk led by Marla McLeod, as curator and artist, added greatly to my awareness of the art on Brister’s Hill. I had already posted based on a solo walk and online research, but Marla shaped my vision for this sequel. Here are photos from her Curator Talk*, plus my promised focus on three artists not shown in the first post: Ekua Holmes, Perla Mabel, and Anthony Peyton Young.
After one walk along Art Ramble on Brister’s Hill, I have many photos and much yet to discover about the compelling art and history here. This post, with quotes and links to resources, should serve as a starter for everything I hope to share about Weaving an Address in the months ahead!
This sequel to Banners and Audio Tour Celebrate “People, Plants & Revolution” in Arlington adds photos of the indoor banners and more resources about the art.
The outdoor views are enticing, though distant and dependent on traffic, weather, and your own mode of transport. The indoor venue is generously unrestricted for close-up viewing of each banner.
Artists Suzanne Moseley and Liz Shepherd designed twelve bright banners that hang above the median strip of Massachusetts Ave in Arlington ( April through May) to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Here are quotes, notes, prints, photos and rich resources connecting plants, people and history.
Here are photos friends have shared from Hands-Off rallies near them, just hints of much more everywhere. They extend the range of spirited signs within Boston and beyond. Links connect to the earlier post about Hands-Off rallies plus hopeful happenings since then.
Here are a few samples of the plentiful expressive statements and creative designs that characterized this significant event. Link to the quoted Boston Globe and NPR articles for basic background and dramatic photos as well.
My visit to this compelling mural in Walgreen’s parking lot at 324 Massachusetts Ave, Arlington, MA on March 22 expanded my awareness of what people can do with art. The video below, about the completion celebration in October 2024, gives very valuable background. I hope the quotes, links and photos convey the mural’s powers.
With barely two weeks left to visit Living Lantern in Boston, near Dowtown Crossing, here is a quick post, urging you to go if you can. At least I hope the quotes, notes, and photos convey the most compelling features of this fascinating installation.
