Get matched →The City of Boston commissioned artist Curtis Williams to create a mural as part of the third round of the Transformative Public Art Program. The mural is located on a wall in the children's space of the Faneuil Branch of the Boston Public Library in Brighton. The artwork is printed on a high-performance vinyl wrap and installed on an 18'3" x 8' 11 ½ wall.
The Faneuil Branch underwent a $14 million renovation including accessibility updates, upgraded technology, a new community room, a new children's space, sustainability enhancements, and updated interior finishes and furnishings that preserve the historic character of the space.
Curtis Williams created a digital mural incorporating imagery from children's artwork collected during community engagement sessions and a kids drawing workshop at the Oak Square YMCA. The mural also features artwork by Jairam Rao, a Brighton teenager who passed away in 2019. The design includes cartoons, childhood icons, dinosaurs, toys, and outer space imagery, aiming to inspire creativity and joy while celebrating imagination and possibility.
Curtis Williams is a visual artist from Orlando, FL currently living in Boston, MA. He uses multiple mediums to express the breadth of his imagination, creating everything from vast cityscapes with giant robots and dinosaurs to abstract paintings with vibrant colors and calligraphic line work.
Budget: $20,000. Year Completed: 2024.
