Five artists have been chosen to participate in a City of Cambridge initiative to energize Cambridge neighborhoods by filling vacant store windows with reproductions of locally-made art.
The Vacant Storefront Creative Design Contest, organized by the Community Development Department and Cambridge Arts, attracted more than 200 original artwork submissions. A jury selected 15 semi-finalists and the Cambridge community picked the 5 winning designs through a public vote online and in person at the City Hall Annex. Each artist will receive a $1,000 honorarium.
Greggy Bazile, a junior in the
RSTA Creative Design program was one of the five winning designs.
Property managers or owners of vacant storefronts can request the winning designs they are interested in displaying. The Community Development Department will provide a high-resolution file of the design that can be printed on vinyl or paper. The property management company is responsible for printing and installing the design.
