“The fact that it was going to be put on the ground and not in a book, just felt very accessible to me,” Julia Porter tells @cambridgechron about #CambMA‘s Sidewalk Poetry Program. “…Who needs the internet or a poetry magazine when you have a sidewalk.”https://t.co/i2cmSVmiP2 pic.twitter.com/ticfKu8XqZ

• Organized the bike tour of public art in Central Square, Cambridgeport and Riverside in July–including talks by three artists. Involved a publicity campaign promoting the event, which meant promoting public art. The tour inspired participants to share pix from the event via their own social media (Ron Newman, for example) and Deborah Lee’s Art Outdoors–and generated interest/requests for more programs around public art. Created webpage for self-directed version of the tour.
• The tour and one of the artists who spoke, William Reimann, are featured in the trailer for Olivia Huang’s “Art in Public.” A screening and discussion are scheduled for Dec. 7, 2022, at 6 p.m. at the Cambridge Public Library’s Valente Branch, 826 Cambridge St.
