BOSTON, MASS
.- Kenny Mascary was recently named the first-ever Community Partnerships Manager for Now + There, a Boston-based nonprofit that brings temporary, site-specific public art to all of the citys neighborhoods.
Having a strong background with mission-driven organizations, Mascary will work with the Now + There team to expand the organizations reach and community impact, developing community-based relationships through public art projects. cGrowing up in Haiti, public art was mostly seen as art that happened, but no one knew where it came from, said Mascary. What always captured my attention was the size of the art, it couldnt be ignored. Or how it meant something significant.

For artist Cicely Carew, process and presence might be just as meaningful as the remarkable artwork she creates. The visual artist, mom and yoga practitioner paints, works in mixed media and monotype printmaking and talks of loving, forgiving and healing as though living is art itself. She spends much of her time developing her work, cultivating happiness and making space to forgive herself and others for mistakes.
“When I try to control things, that s when it gets messy. My art reminds me of that,” Carew says. “So, I let those mistakes stay there, or the messy things stay there because it reminds me to stay light and to laugh.”
