Street Paintings
Willoughby Street was the *first* project we undertook. A key partner in the effort was the Lesley University College of Art and Design. The students did an amazing job of working with residents to design a bird-motif. There are over 40 bird houses on the street. Come down and see how many you can count!
Hudson Street was Somerville's second street painting. A controversy over resident notification of around design means that this street painting is unlikely to be repainted.
