SCULPTURE UNVEILING PARTY
AND INAUGURATION AT THE NEW

"CONDOR STREET URBAN WILD"

Come join us for a day of Celebration! B and Woody have recently completed a 29 piece public art sculpture called the Chelsea Creek Clipper. These stones were originally part of an old seawall on the site. They have been reconstituted in the shape of a boat to commemorate the ship-building heritage of East Boston. Donald Mc Kay's famous clipper ship, the Flying Cloud, was constructed at his shipyard on the banks of Chelsea Creek.

B worked closely with the community gathering oral histories which are inscribed on the stones. A natural gathering place now exists in the newly constructed Condor Street Urban Wild Park. B is originally from East Boston. For her, the creation of this sculpture in her home community feels like the completion of a circular journey. October 4th is the official opening of the Park and the unveiling of the sculpture. We hope that you can join us for the festivities!

Directions to the Condor Street Urban Wild at 300 Condor Street, which is located in East Boston. When you exit from the Callahan or Sumner Tunnel, take the local exit on the right. Take the second right (before the stop sign) onto Paris Street. Take a right onto Gold Street until you come to Meridian Street. Take a right onto Meridian Street until you see the Meridian Street Bridge. Take a right onto Condor Street (just before the Bridge) and continue to #300 where you will find the park on the left on the banks of Chelsea Creek. If you do not take the tunnel, look for Central Square in East Boston. Meridian Street runs off Central Square towards Chelsea and Condor St. is on the right.
