The Winning Proposal in Short
"Turn the old Somerville Bookmobile into a Mobile Art Vehicle;
a combination art studio / gallery space/ performance area."
The Project Seeks To:
1. Bring art and arts programming to underserved communities
2.
Highlight art that already exists within the Greater Boston community
These Goals May be Achieved By:
1.
Having the inside of the bus converted into a small art gallery
2. Bringing travelling workshops to local schools and arts centers
3. Installation of small P.A. system for in-bus performances (bus as venue)
4. Showcasing local muralists on the sides of the bus
5. Showcasing local sound artists through a MP3-based horn system
6. Empowering local youth by enlisting their help with bus upkeep
