Originally created by LilliAnn Killen and Marvin Rosenberg in 1982, these community sculptures is a project of the Mayor’s Office for Cultural Affairs and the Newton Parks and Recreation Department and was underwritten by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and generous Newton Center businesses. It was installed by the Public Works Department.

The mosaic was restored in 1996 by the original author, Lillian Rosenberg.

In 2014, I restored these mosaic sculptures with the assistance of Newton citizens, Newton businesses and The Potters Shop & Studio. The project was underwritten by Newton Community Pride.
