Figure 3. A conceptual collage for the ARTery corridor. The 3-mile route connects clusters of small businesses, vacant lots, and underutilized public spaces along with existing community cultural assets and spaces across Boston’s City Council District 7. Storefronts outlined in teal highlight existing artistic and cultural expressions while yellow outlines indicate opportunities for storefront investment and activation. Created by research assistant Ethan Matthews.
A pink horizontal stripe runs through the center of a collage of photos of storefronts, public art, empty party walls, and vacant lots. Teal ovals at the left end, center, and right end of the pink stripe are labeled Jazz Square, Nubian Square, and Grove Hall, respectively. Some photos close to the pink stripe are outlined in teal or yellow.
