LandWave Fundraising Event (2)

Landwave, the public art to be installed at the Boston Neck location in Peters Park is having a fundraiser on April 8th. Their announcement is below



Frank Campanale is one lucky guy! Not only does he own the very cool Harrison Avenue shop diseño boston and a fab apartment in the hippest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, but by fall his Washington Street loft will have the perfect view of LandWave. This public artwork, commissioned for the South End’s Peters Park, will soon be a strikingly beautiful presence on Washington Street, marking the narrowest part of the historic Neck to the Shawmut Peninsula. By day, its glass-embedded tiles will sparkle in the sun; at night, the soft blue glow of LEDs will outline the crest of its three waves. See www.LandWave.org for plans, pictures and information.

Frank is also a good guy. On Tuesday, April 8th from 6 to 8 PM, he will open his South End home for an exclusive reception for LandWave, complete with excellent food and wine inspired by Frank’s South American décor.

Space is limited. Please save your spot by sending your check to Bob Wells at the address below as soon as you can. Your contribution of $125 per person or $200 for couples in advance (or $150 or $250 for couples at the door, if tickets are available) will help make LandWave a reality for all South End residents and visitors. (Make your check out to UrbanArts Institute, a nonprofit, for a tax deduction. We can’t accept credit cards.)

We hope you can join us to hear artist Shauna Gillies-Smith describe the piece, see the future site of LandWave from the top, and enjoy excellent food and wine inspired by Argentina. You’ll enjoy Frank’s Boston apartment, a showcase for the best of Argentine design. You’ll love LandWave, a truly contemporary artwork marking the historic geology of our South End.
