Public Art Commission Tour, Tomorrow Sep 20 (5:30 - 7:00 pm): Public Art Commission is an advisory group that meets once a month and helps make decisions about public art projects in the City. The tour will start at the UD Playground, and then continue to see Fern Street, and end at the site of future Tobin Montessori & Vassal Lane Upper Schools Project.

With great enthusiasm, I share my recent discoveries of three public art projects within the relatively new Louis A. DePasquale Universal Design Playground: 1. Mitch Ryerson's “Sensory Hilltop,” 2. NuVu Studio's “Pipe Dreams,” 3. Dominic Killiany’s paintings. Here I simply build on background in earlier ART Outdoors posts about Mitch Ryerson's playground design, but the other two were new to me: Nu Vu Studios, the Innovation School in Central Square Cambridge, and Dominic Killiany, an artist with autism. I hope the photos, quotes, and links add to your own explorations.
The 30,000-square-foot Louis A. DePasquale Universal Design Playground opened in November and sits between Field Street and the Briston Arms residential complex.
