The New Art Center, on behalf of Chestnut Hill Square, seeks an artist or artist team to develop and install a bold, and site-specific work of temporary public art to enhance the visitor experience. To be installed in September 2024 and on view through Spring 2025, the project should be designed to be maintained and to withstand the elements.
Chestnut Hill Square in Chestnut Hill, MA is home to Wegmans, SoulCycle, sweetgreen, Anthropologie, Equinox and many other high-end retailers. Developed and managed by New England Development, this outdoor shopping center has also become a home for public art projects, such as “The Block” by Liz Helfer in 2023, which can be seen here.
