Public Art Update: New Works to be Considered

The Cultural Trail public art installation intended for the corner of Mass Ave., Alabama and Vermont streets is now being reconsidered. The piece by Emily Kennerk, titled “Play,” was proposed but not commissioned due to contractual issues. The Cultural Trail Curatorial Advisory Committee is in the process of considering other artists’ works for that location.
