  • Guidelines and Application Form
    Dwelling CALL FOR PROPOSALS 4th exhibition of site specific sculpture & installation at historic Forest Hills Cemetery The Forest Hills Educational Trust invites artists, architects and landscape architects to participate in Dwelling: Memory, Architecture and Place at Forest Hills Cemetery. This juried outdoor exhibition will consist of temporary site specific installation work, structures, and sculpture set into the land- scape of Forest Hills Cemetery, a magnificent 19th century garden-style cemetery and arboretum in Boston, MA. The exhibition is scheduled for 6/15/06 to 10/31/06. We invite proposals responding to the Cemetery’s architecture, its Victorian role as an extension of domestic space and a final home, and its importance as a place of contemplation and reflection. Forest Hills is increasingly recognized as Boston’s newest venue for adventurous outdoor exhibitions of site specific contemporary art. The Trust’s exhibitions have received extensive coverage from the Boston-area media; sculpture at Forest Hills has been featured on the cover of Art New England, picked as one of 10 “must see” artworks in Boston by the Boston Globe’s art critic Christine Temin, and reviewed in the Boston Globe, Herald, Phoenix, Arts Media and Sculpture Magazine. Dwelling will open with a festive reception featuring live music and performance art. The Trust will also organize artists’ talks, educational programs for children and special events during the exhibition. We will produce an exhibition brochure (which will include a map, photographs and short artist’s statements) and document the exhibition on the Trust’s website (www.foresthillstrust.org). THE THEME The word "dwelling" offers two complementary meanings, one tangible and the other experiential.

  • Mayor's Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events Boston Art
    Mayor’s Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events Boston Art Commission 100 Public Artworks: Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Financial District and the North End 1. Lief Eriksson by Anne Whitney This life-size bronze statue memorializes Lief Eriksson, the Norse explorer believed to be the first European to set foot on North America. Originally sited to overlook the Charles River, Eriksson stands atop a boulder and shields his eyes as if surveying unfamiliar terrain. Two bronze plaques on the sculpture’s base show Eriksson and his crew landing on a rocky shore and, later, sharing the story of their discovery. When Boston philanthropist Eben N. Horsford commissioned the statue, some people believed that Eriksson and his crew landed on the shore of Massachusetts and founded their settlement, called Vinland, here. However, most scholars now consider Vinland to be located on the Canadian coast. This piece was created by a notable Boston sculptor, Anne Whitney. Several of her pieces can be found around the city. Whitney was a fascinating and rebellious figure for her time: not only did she excel in the typically ‘masculine’ medium of large-scale sculpture, she also never married and instead lived with a female partner. 2. Ayer Mansion Mosaics by Louis Comfort Tiffany At first glance, the Ayer Mansion seems to be a typical Back Bay residence. Look more closely, though, and you can see unique elements decorating the mansion’s façade. Both inside and outside, the Ayer Mansion is ornamented with colorful mosaics and windows created by the famed interior designer Louis Comfort Tiffany.

  • Tour De Grave Historical Notes 2012
    Tour de Grave Historical Notes 2012 There are about 125 cemeteries in Boston, including ones owned by private for-profits, nonprofit and religious groups, and the city. There are 19 municipal cemeteries, the largest number of any city in the United States of which 16 are considered historic. Only 3 of the municipal sites still accept new burials. (The Historic Burying Grounds Initiative – for municipal sites established between 1630 and 1841 – was created in 1986 as a public-private effort to upgrade and maintain these properties.) Since the 1800s, Massachusetts state law requires that “each town shall provide one or more suitable places for the internment of persons dying within its limits,” which has been typically interpreted as requiring services for the indigent. Boston uses Fairview Cemetery in Hyde Park for this purpose, with unmarked numbered graves. (The regular cost of a double vault is $2,588.) There are more than 42,000 sites at Fairview and more than 195,000 in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Roslindale, the city’s largest. With the potential for another 2,000 sites in Fairview, and the redesign of some cemeteries to downsize roads and other unused space, the city hopes to meet the demand into the 2020s. EVOVLING AESTHETICS AND PRACTICES In medieval Europe, people were buried as close to the Church as possible, often in the ground immediately surrounding the building on which congregants walked, held markets, and celebrated festivals in what can be seen as a kind of public square. The rich and powerful were buried inside the Church, as close as possible to the alter.

The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1902. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers. The organization is usually a party to either a written or verbal agreement concerning wages and conditions of em- ployment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbsinded. The Department has records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 6I8, Acts of 19U6 (Revised by Chapter 39U, Acts of 19h9). This edition consists of four divisions, as follows: I. "National and International Organizations" having one or more affil- iated local unions in the United States, (pages U-lil). II. " Delegate Organizations " consisting of organizations composed of delegates from local unions whose members are in trades or industries of a like character within a definite district, or of delegates from local unions in the same locality, not necessarily in similar trades, (pages 15-2U).

  • Heart of the City Final Report
    THE HEART OF THE CITY BY ASHLEY G. LANFER WORKING PAPER 9 November 22, 2003 RAPPAPORT INSTITUTE FOR GREATER BOSTON JOHN F. KENNEDY SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT HARVARD UNIVERSITY RAPPAPORT INSTITUTE FOR GREATER BOSTON …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………….. PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the past generation, the City of Boston been part of an historic urban renaissance in the United States. After years of serious decline, when businesses and population fled the city as racial and social problems festered, Boston has used its strategic location, priceless institutional assets, and grassroots know-how to offer a vital place to live, work, and enjoy cultural and community life. At a time when government is denigrated in the political discourse, Boston City Hall has developed programs and policies that have won acclaim for their pragmatism and effectiveness — including community policing, Main Streets business districts, nonprofit housing development, public-private partnerships in hospitals and community health centers, building-level reform of public schools, a small but significant growth in school choice, devel- opment of whole new neighborhoods and transit systems, and a renewal of citywide park sys- tems. These programs and strategies work because they create place-specific approaches to problems, where people are engaged in fixing their own communities and institutions. Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Police Commissioner Paul Evans, Schools Superintendent Thomas Pay- zant, the late Parks Commissioner Justine Liff, and others have provided very real leadership from City Hall — as have community leaders in all neighborhoods and even field of endeavor. One of the areas to experience the most striking renaissance is the area that we call the Heart of the City.
