For the "Signs and Symbols" project, children from after-school programs and community organizations across Boston looked at how words and characters are paired together to convey messages. Working with Cambridge-based artist and author Caleb Neelon, the children then created signs featuring their own verbal and character-driven messages. 

The Community Arts Initiative is generously supported by the Linde Family Foundation.
