After a long and trying winter Boston will explode with public art this spring — from the upcoming Janet Echelman installation on the Greenway to small public art project and interventions.

The Here and Now? Now and Later? What's your name again?
We've had a few questions about the name which is understandable. We're playing with a few well-know phrases and asking you, our friends, to think a little differently. Simply put, our name represents two of the most important values of our work: the present day and the work's location.

THERE: Projects will respond to specific sites -- they're not just plunked down -- and from time to time they might even be in multiple locations. It's over there! And there!
