Evening everyone.

I'd like to pass on this announcement for the LandWave fundraiser. LandWave is the public art installation that will go on behind the ball field in Peters Park on Washingston street.

We hope you will be able to join us on Tuesday, February 12th, 6 to 8 PM at the Bernard Toale Gallery (featuring the work of four photographers in Picturing India) at 450 Harrison Avenue for our LandWave reception. LandWave—the public artwork commissioned for the South End’s Peters Park—will soon be a highly visible and strikingly beautiful presence in Peters Park on Washington Street, marking the narrowest part of the historic Neck to the Shawmut Peninsula. We now seeking the last dollars as we move forward to break ground.

There will be good wine, good food (from Oishii), good friends and the opportunity to learn more about this exciting public art project directly from the lead artist, Shauna Gillies-Smith. It will be a good time for a good cause. Your contribution of $125 is payable (check or cash) at the door. Please let us know that you are coming (
McQueenStudio@rcn.com); your RSVPs will help us gauge how much food and wine to have.

In the meantime, please enjoy our new website at
www.LandWave.org . You will also be interested in the sites of the lead artist at www.GroundInc.com, construction advisor Gregor Smith at www.Smith-StJohn.com and our event sponsors, www.OishiiBoston.com, www.BernardToaleGallery.com and www.BeOurGuest.com.

(Please excuse us if you've received multiple emails. We are using several different mailing lists to spread the word as widely as possible. Of course, you are welcome to forward this to friends.)
