Color Flows on Winter Street
Mayor Michelle Wu invites residents and visitors to one of Boston’s busiest pedestrian corridors, Winter Street, to celebrate community culture in the heart of the city.
Color Flows on Winter Street is a multi-week event returning to Winter Street to transform the street into a vibrant, welcoming public space and destination for residents and visitors. As part of the City of Boston’s effort to reimagine our streets and pedestrian zones as safer, more engaging, and enjoyable for all, the event features public art, lighting, food trucks, colorful seating and plantings, and light pop-up programming for all ages. This program is part of the City of Boston’s Design Vision, led by the Planning Department. The installation will feature art by Sabrina Dorsainvil and local food truck vendors.

Public Art Concept
Feel & Flow
Downtown crossing holds nostalgia and memories at the same time as it holds pathways to possibilities. Slowing down in such an active place can offer moments of contemplation, connection, and play.
Feel & Flow builds on the “color flows” theme by vibrantly bringing together simple moments of joy and whimsy alongside colorful lines, much like the neon signs in the food court, that weave throughout the space from one end to another.
Pedestrians will be welcomed into the space by multicolored arches with characters and/or gestures of care on both Tremont and Washington Street. The primary moments depicted include: a high five, bubbles blowing, a gifted flower and a held heart. Each of these and the supporting imagery are meant to signal a passageway to caring for, connecting to and enjoying– nature, community, each other and ourselves.
