Boston Seaport by WS Development unveils mural installation by artist Wade

Boston, MA Boston Seaport by WS Development has welcomed a new addition to its public art scene. Author and poet Cleo Wade has chosen this district as the location for her first concepted and designed mural installation, “A Small & Mighty Truth.” Prominently situated at the intersection of I-90 and Congress St., adjacent to the new 400 Summer St. building, Wade’s mural serves as a gateway to the Seaport neighborhood. Its message, drawn from her latest anthology “Remember Love,” perfectly aligns with the area’s spirit of progress and embracing what’s new and next. 

The 51” by 17” mural features a rainbow of painted letters that boldly proclaim, “Remember: Going through it is often how we get to the other side of it.” Wade’s words offer a consoling, inspiring voice amidst the chaos of modern life, urging viewers feeling overwhelmed or lost to return to the essence of love, particularly self-love, as a guiding force. 

“Whenever I create public art, my great hope is that it can be the message someone stumbles across, that holds them for a brief moment. We could all use a little support, a little love, in today’s world,” said Wade. 

Wade’s mural is a powerful addition to Boston Seaport’s rich collection of globally renowned public art installations by artists like Frank Stella, Okuda San Miguel, 1010, Tomislav Topic, Jon Burgerman, John Guthrie, and Ryan Adams. The neighborhood’s public art program and presence of institutions like the Institute of Contemporary Art and multiple art galleries further cement its reputation as a hub for creativity and artistic expression. 

“Boston Seaport welcomes this inspiring new piece, adding to our fabulous collection of fun and inspiring public art. People will be pleasantly surprised with Cleo’s beautiful message as they enter the neighborhood,” said Ariel Foxman, VP, brand & experience Boston Seaport by WS Development.
