The North End Historical Society with St Leonard’s Church in Boston will celebrate “The Noble Journey” on Sunday, September 29th, at 1PM.
Created by Nancy Schön, recognized internationally for her “Make Way For Ducklings” sculptures, “The Noble Journey” is a simple walk-way insert, surrounded by paving bricks. The installation on 320 Hanover Street will feature the outline of footprints, representing generations of men, women and children who immigrated to Boston from Italy.
“The Nobel Journey” created by Nancy Schön
People from all walks of life are welcome to join the dedication ceremony to remember the journey of their ancestors. The outdoor celebration will follow a noon mass inside St. Leonard’s Church.
Last Mother’s Day, Mrs. Schön, with her children, hosted an Open House in her West Newton, Massachusetts garage. A little spill after one of her dance classes limited her mobility but the artist’s enthusiasm for sharing her spirit remained vibrant. She explained her commitment to public art is infused with global wishes for peace and love.
Boston Public Garden, “Make Way for Ducklings”
Like her beloved ” Make Way For Ducklings” in the Boston Public Garden and Novodevichy Park in Moscow, the core of Mrs. Schön’s work is a celebration of humanity. Some of her work is political, some based in parable. Intentionally emotionally evocative of the human condition, each of Nancy Schöns creations is designed to be touched, and surprisingly the message of her art will touch you in return.
