The Friends of Blackstone & Franklin Squares are pleased to welcome EMERGENCE: What Does Hope Look Like?, a sculpture by local artist Chanel Thervil, to Franklin Square. Formerly on the plaza of Boston Center for the Arts, this temporary exhibit will add some color and whimsy to the park through the winter. Thervil's project is envisioned as a communal tree of hope, built based on direct community input.
