Quincy, MA
When asked why I love Somerville, and why I will defend it to the death against the pompous scoffing of myopic Cantabrigians, I invariably reference the Switchbox Project (now celebrating its 10 year anniversary) as proof of our unconditional awesomeness.
SEE?! Utility and art CAN peacefully coexist!
If more ammunition is needed, I start itemizing: the Somerville Open minigolf tournament (sadly on hiatus this year due to construction); MUM, the dance party under the McGrath Overpass; the Illuminations Tour; and, of course, What the Fluff?, which of course was invented right here in Somerville (no matter that the good people of Lynn will try to convince you otherwise). The common thread connecting these disparate celebrations of local eccentricity and creativity: the Somerville Arts Council, the umbrella group presiding over a vast array of disparate artistic and cultural activities throughout the city.
Oh, what crazy fun will they think up next? An what does ArtBeat hold in store this year? Dinosaurs, I’ve heard? Art Brut playing the mainstage? SCULS, one hopes? Canoe rides through Davis Square? The only limits are our own imaginations…
Sing, for us, Mr. Wonka
«Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination…»
