“Local Art – Global Heart: Be The Change You Wish to See”
Community art project created by the students and faculty of The Advent School led by George Anastos. The work is made of 40 panels of woven recycled materials and 20 Plexiglass paintings. According to MBTA’s website, “the work is a collage of pieces created by over thirty local businesses and schools, from recycled materials donated by neighbors, families and the Children Museum’s Recycling Center”.
Looking at the wealth and visible presence of public and community art available throughout Boston – especially artworks created by students and young people – I’m wondering if this model of community engagement could work in British cities and towns, and if not why.
