Public Art Program
The Greenway Conservancy recently completed the planning process for a Five Year Public Art Strategy. As part of the process we’ve engaged six artist teams from the US and the UK to produce site specific proposals for a temporary public artwork on the Greenway.

Permanant Installations
Harbor Fog
By Boston artist, Ross Miller features three vertical stainless steel sculptural beacons, inspired by Boston Harbor navigational buoys, billows of fog, LEDs, and a sound system, are surrounded by recycled granite seawall stones placed in the shape of a boat. Harbor Fog is located in the Wharf District Parks and is motion sensitive to people who walk by, or children playing, all of which activate the unique sculpture, and make it a great place to both play and relax on warm days.
