Pieces Come Together on Public Art Project

In what may be a perfect allegory for community spirit, disparate groups came together through the Needham Community Action Committee to create a public art project, adding beauty to the Haddock-McLeod Plaza. Blending corporate and municipal interests, students and seniors joined forces to generate two planters decorated with mosaics based on the theme “Go with the Flow.” The were installed earlier this month, with a presentation to the board at their June 11th meeting. Municipal Producer Yuxiao Yuan has the story.
