Many Wings, One Sky is a collaborative public art project built around a simple idea: every butterfly can be different, but together they become part of one shared landscape. Two related sculptural installations were created - one with youth at Cambridge Recreation Center and one with youth at Walnut Recreation Center. Participants created colorful polymer-clay butterflies reflecting their own choices in color, pattern, texture, size, and form. The artist took the youth-made pieces from each site together on natural branches to create the feeling of many wings gathering, resting, and moving upward. The natural branch structures suggest connection and growth. Together, the two installations share the same concept and visual language while reflecting the distinct contributions of the two workshop groups.

This exhibition brings together the FY27 Fall cohort of the Temporary Public Art Projects program. Each artist engaged the community and created a temporary project based on the work they did with the youth.

This cohort was tasked with drawing inspiration from the history and/or environment of the site, or from a variety of themes including imaginary friends, miniatures, monsters, and place. The artists each took one or more of these prompts and transformed them through their unique lens.
