Electrical Box Dedication
Fall 2017
|
|
The Natick Artists Open Studios weekend was the perfect day to celebrate the completed artwork on two electrical boxes. One by artist
Catherine Gruetzke-Blais
and the other by
Eddie Bruckne
r. We are grateful
for their contribution to the ever growing Natick arts scene!
On hand for the event were friends, family, appreciators of art, Public Art Committee and Natick Center Associates Board members who applauded their efforts.
We also stopped along our route to recognize the skillfulness of the MIL (
Morse Institute Library)
Stitchers as they 'yarn stormed' many of the Town Hall bollards. This, we hope, is the first of many efforts in the district. The yarn covered bollards all look graceful and at home in the their current location.
We are grateful to Catherine, Eddie and the MIL Stitchers for their artistry and dedication which all residents and visitors we hope will enjoy.
We are very appreciative to the
Mass Cultural Council
for their financial support, the Town Administrator, Board of Selectmen, the Cultural District's Public Art Committee and NCA Board Members for their commitment to support the arts in Natick!
