Natick Nights in July &
Electrical Box Painting
|
|
Natick Nights will be here again on Thursday's in June & July throughout the downtown from 5-8 pm, beginning June 1st! It's a great time to find all the fine stores and gems in Natick Center as we'll have musicians, entertainment, dining and merchant specials throughout the evening. June 1st will be "Vintage Night" complete with vintage cars and other exciting events, so come down to see what it's all about!
Natick is getting even more fabulous with 3 more electrical boxes getting a makeover this spring!
The Pubic Art Committee, a part of the Natick Center Cultural District, has chosen three designs that will add a smile to your day and new energetic artwork in town. Keep an eye out for artist Christina Taylor's
whimsical robot artwork on the Pond St. boxes (on the sidewalk near the parking lot). Sasha Kutnetsova's painting will be a salute to Natick's lasting patriotism on the Moran Park (MBTA Train Station) box and Neil Collins' painting on the site of the former Harwood Baseball Factory box will be a nod to the historic baseball factory heyday.
