From the press release, "Each sculpture will speak to its architectural surroundings, activate the site that inspired it, and create a unique destination for the Boston community to see contemporary art. Following on the heels of the newly renovated Contemporary Wing at the Museum of Fine Arts and as a celebration of the newly designated statewide Fenway Cultural District, this exhibition carries forth the vision to draw attention to visual art of the moment and promote its prominent place in the life of the city.<br />

In a convergence of imagination and civic pride, over two dozen art
installations from Boston Sculptors Gallery members will be displayed on The
Christian Science Plaza from Wednesday, May 1 to Thursday, October 31, 2013.
Join us for our grand opening on Saturday, May 4, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and
again for the catalog launch on Thursday, June 6, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.</span></span></span><br />

activate the site that inspired it, and create a unique destination for the Boston community to see
contemporary art. Following on the heels of the newly built Contemporary Wing
at the Museum of Fine Arts and as a celebration of the newly designated
statewide Fenway Cultural District (established March 20, 2012 by the
Massachusetts Cultural Council), this exhibition carries forth the vision to
draw attention to visual art of the moment and promote its prominent place in
the life of the city. We invite the public to enter, look, think, hope, dream,
and be a part of the experience.</span></span></span><br />

founded in 1992 by 18 prominent Boston-area artists to present and promote
innovative, challenging sculpture and installations. It is the only sculptors’
organization in the country that maintains its own exhibition space. In twenty
years the cooperative has held over 227 art shows and supported the work of 58
sculptors with work in 48 U.S.
states and 36 foreign countries. Gallery members have received numerous honors
including 81 residencies, 315 awards or fellowships, and 134 grants. Members
have taught in 70 settings, generated 169 permanent public art works and 308
temporary public artworks, and are included in 1,100 private and public
collections. Boston Sculptors Gallery articulates, challenges, and promotes the
role of sculpture in the public sphere, in communities, and in the lives of
individuals.</span></span></span><br />

14-acre pedestrian refuge amid the busy traffic patterns of Boston’s urban environment and attracts thousands
of visitors each year from all over the world. In the heart of the Plaza sits
The Original Mother Church, built in 1894, and its domed extension, built in
1906. The Plaza also includes an arboretum of linden, oak, and honey locust
trees, a 686-foot-long reflecting pool, the children’s fountain, and the
world-famous Mapparium™, the most popular exhibit at The Mary Baker Eddy
Library. The Plaza has been influenced over the past two centuries by several
architects, including Chester Lindsay Churchill in the 1930s and the firm of
I.M. Pei & Partners and Araldo A. Cossutta, Associated Architects, in the
1970s and is a designated Boston Landmarks Property.</span></span></span><br />
