The project is well underway and five of our installations are complete. People are stopping and smiling and it is so gratifying to bring this splash of color to Downtown Boston. In fact the Boston Herald took notice this week and "heralded" the October Arts Scene with a feature photo. If you would like to see the completed projects, here is a short list as of October 1st:

Supporting the arts is an active part of the ongoing recovery, and, it is a joy to have twelve artists working throughout the neighborhood. Passerbys stop, chat and remark. There is a whimsical charm in the artistry of painting food. Bright colors snap to attention as brushes stroke and bring life to a gray canvas.
There are vibrant colors and all of this comes at a time when we need bold and bright images. In some cases the food is a childhood memory - a deli counter, a pot of warm soup or even a crispy cannoli shell. Whatever the differences we may have, we all come together to celebrate food. And, after all, Boston is defined by its distinct food culture. The North End, South End, Dorchester and Hyde Park - every neighborhood has a flavor and they all come together in this project in Downtown Boston. We are Tasteful Boston. Come Visit. |
