Local artists can get grants to put art where you least expect it

The New England Foundation for the Arts reports it's won a $1.7-million, three-year grant to foster art project in Boston neighborhoods.
Creative City, funded by the Barr Foundation, will focus on art "in sites, spaces and contexts that may not typically be viewed as places for artistic activity."

So the infamous Back Bay
So the infamous Back Bay Station mens room will be getting an art installation?
I would settle for security, soap, and some tolerable standard of sanitation.
Perhaps
Perhaps they'll get a false dilemma installed.
Though might I ask why you're spending so much time in the Back Bay bathrooms?
You can enter any time you
You can enter any time you like but you may never leave.

Because every wall,bridge and train has already been spray painted by artistic vandals
Another typical inane exaggeration
We must be in a different city. I don't know when was the last time I saw a train that had been tagged. And no, I'm not a fan of the practice.
I like it
A few years ago, a giant pear showed up in Everett Square. I learned about the history of the Clapp pear that I'd never known before. Most people giving you a rundown of interesting artwork around the city wouldn't necessarily think to send you to Dorchester. I think this sort of grant will increase that kind of outdoor art spontaneity. Everyone should have their cool bronze pear that only their neighborhood knows exists.
