Be part of a public art project exploring how communities can act collectively to improve home energy efficiency. Using wood shingles and art supplies, participants of all ages and skill levels are invited to design a shingle that will become part of the exterior of our outdoor sculpture.Funded by Mass Save’s Community First Partnership, the project features complementary outdoor installations in Framingham and Natick.
Each town will host an L-shaped installation composed of two 8 × 8 ft. walls featuring participants’ artwork. The interior walls will feature murals focused on energy conservation. The exterior will feature a mosaic of painted wood shingles highlighting savings through steps like insulation, window upgrades, heat pumps, efficient appliances, and solar energy. Framingham’s installation will be located at the green space next to Village Hall on the Centre Common and will be unveiled this spring.
