Ground Breaking Public Art Unveiled
Plan to be in Edward Everett
Square before 1pm. Bring your camera and good spirits.
Plan to congratulate your fellow Dorchestrians for their
wonderful efforts and results.
Edward Everett Square is proudly setting its place on the artist's map
of Boston. Saturday, October 16, 2010 is a day for celebrating.
At 1pm dignitaries, artists, Friends of Edward Everett Square
and the EES Committee will begin the ribbon cutting ceremony.
This
event represents the culmination of 15 years of collaboration among
community
groups, city agencies and the artist, Laura Baring-Gould. "The final project redefines the capacity of
public art to enhance the aesthetic
experience, promote historic appreciation, and catalyze urban renewal."
All
of us, artist or not, can feel proud of the work that area residents
put into this effort.
Everyone benefits. High quality art naturally raises our
expectations and provides a foundation for hope.
The Favorite Clapp Pear
We are all
familiar with the 12 foot sculpture of Dorchester's Clapp pear - a
reminder of our roots grounded in agriculture. This
represented
the completion of one of the early phases of the artistic design work
headed up by Ms. Baring-Gould.
Frustrated? Don't know where to turn? Is
complaining your only outlet? There are
many resources ready and willing to help out
