Celebrating The Embrace Boston Common
Boston welcomed a new monumental public artwork this month — The Embrace — honoring the life, legacy, and love of Corretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The piece, designed by Hank Willis Thomas, was installed in the Boston Commons and unveiled earlier this month. The piece sits at the center of the 1965 Freedom Plaza which has inscribed in it the names of 65 local civil rights leaders, some of whom CACP is honored to call our friends and partners. To learn more please visit the Embrace Boston website.
In conjunction with the opening of this public work, For Freedoms curated an exhibition entitled Let Love Quiet Fear which features the work of ten esteemed artists including CACP’s own, Ekua Holmes. The exhibition is up now until Feb. 12 at the Praise Shadows Gallery in Brookline.

Radical Welcome: A Roundtable on Grantmaking as Care-Centered Work Boston Art Review Article
CACP’s own Ceci Méndez-Ortiz along with several of CACP’s partners are featured in a recent Boston Art Review article that asks: “What does it mean to redistribute resources to artists here, in Boston, at this moment. How do the current social transformations underway impact how we do this work?” This article is compiled from roundtable discussions hosted by Abigail Satinsky and Anneke Chan.
Ceci shares about building a community-driven re-granting process — Radical Imagination for Racial Justice — that centers youth voices and the (funded) wellbeing of artists and creatives.
The Boston Art Review is an independent publication committed to facilitating active discourse around contemporary art in Boston.
