The Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) is hosting its fourth
annual public art residency. This summer and fall the BCA is
welcoming the Boston artist Chanel Thervil. Thervil explores the
different faces of hope and its function in a community in her
projectEmergence: what does hope look like?

Her artwork, a hope tree
sculpture is now showcased on the BCAs plaza. The sculpture
exhibits different symbols of hope- concepts ranging from triumph
to selflessness. The project is founded on community participation,
and there will be times in the future when people can add to the
sculpture.
The BCA offers three residency
programs a year. The programs give an artist studio space to work
in, as well as a temporary spot on the BCAs plaza to exhibit the
artwork.
