Joyous Dedication! Bronze Art by Sculptor Chris Williams. Landscape design by Ann Gilardi Johnson. Generous Gardeners. DPW. #GloucesterMA 400+ Legacy Project Stacy Boulevard

Posted on by Catherine

Photo & video caption: Scenes from the Dedication Ceremony and reveal for the new permanent public art commission on Stacy Boulevard, ‘Fish Baskets’, 4 bronze planters by sculptor Chris Williams. Landscape design by Ann Gilardi Johnson. Support for the project was spearheaded by Generous Gardeners, Gloucester DPW, the City & State, Gloucester 400+, and generous donors. Ann Gilardi Johnson and Chris Williams have the long color design goal in mind. After several years, the four bronze planters will naturally oxidize as a protective coating forms, covering the surface with a green patina. They are intended to age and complement the iconic and cherished copper-green of Gloucester’s Fisherman at the Wheel.

I guess I will hop on board with the “dusting of snow” pictures. The dories were nicely dusted on the Harbor Loop. The first snow is always a special wonder.
