About

Saturday, August 10, 12-5pm

Join us for “a line” – a captivating 500-ft-long installation that debuted at the Japan Festival in Boston Common. We invite the Harvard Square community to be part of this ongoing journey. On Saturday, August 10, from 12 PM to 5 PM, bring your friends, kids, or partners to Palmer Street (near the Harvard Coop) and enjoy drawing, coloring, and dancing with us. Don’t miss the chance to also visit the (snobby) institute at 1420 Mass Ave (next to Bank of America) and explore the complete project, a graduate thesis by (snobs._), recent graduates of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Please check our Instagram @snobs._ for details on our programs from August 1-9 as well!

We are deeply thankful to the Harvard Square Business Association and Gazit Horizons for providing the opportunity for this installation.
