~CALL FOR ARTISTS~
Groundwork Somerville is a member of the Shape Up Somerville  
collaborative and is actively participating in the Active Living by  
Design grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.  It is with  
this in mind that we are issuing this call for artists.

Groundwork Somerville is issuing a call to artists to help us create  
and produce a sign for the Community Path Extension space at the end  
of the Community Path in Davis Square (Cedar Street).  The only  
stipulations are that 1) we cannot spend a lot of money (!); and 2)  
we want to say something to the following effect:

Welcome to the Community Path Extension!
Stay tuned for more exciting developments…

We are hoping to work with a Somerville artist to present this piece  
in early spring (mid-late April).  Utilizing old traffic signs (from  
Traffic and Parking) or other such transit-related pieces are  
possibilities.  Incorporating the Community Path Extension map is  
also a possibility.

For any questions, or to submit an idea, please contact Jennifer  
Lawrence, Director, Groundwork Somerville at (617) 628-9988 or  
jllawrence at groundworksomerville.org.

The final date for submissions is April 6th, 2007 and the proposed  
project due date is April 27th, 2007
