Dear Mass. Ave. Neighbors,

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that the Committee for Art on the Avenue has chosen the proposal by Ross Miller, attached, to be included in the construction of the Mass. Ave. Demonstration Block.

After reviewing the art work of over 100 artists who have filed their interest in creating public art in Cambridge, three finalists were invited to make a proposal:

Vivian Beer
Lajos Heder
Ross Miller

All three of the proposals received are for exciting and wonderful works of art. The one chosen was considered most appropriate for inclusion in our Demonstration Block.

Work is scheduled to begin on the Demonstration Block in the Spring of 2014. Our chosen artist, Ross Miller, will begin design development of his proposal in cooperation with the Mass. Ave. Improvement Committee, the Arts Committee, the City of Cambridge and the construction contractor.

This project is supported by the Cambridge/Agassiz/Harvard Community, Culture, and Recreation Fund.
