NEFA GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT
| | |
Congratulations to Fern Cunningham, a 2010 NEFA Public Art Connections grant recipient! Cunningham's sculpture, The Value of a Life, was recently installed at Clarence "Jeep" Jones Park in Roxbury, MA. The bronze sculpture explores youth violence and the value of life. Cunningham collaborated with the Roxbury Action Program and many community members. The "Books of Life and Hope" surrounding the children are cast from pages made by community members in workshops led by Cunningham.
