Highlights

"Gateway" by Mags Harries is a work of public art commissioned by the Cambridge Arts Council in 1983.  It was originally designed for a corridor space at the old Longfellow School,  to bridge between the image of a Japanese gateway and table.  The artist, Mags Harries, says “I also wanted the parents of the children at Longfellow to re-remember when they were children, a connection to their child's perspective of the world.”    Mags Harries has created many works of public art.  Other pieces  in the area include "Glove Cycle" in the Porter Square T station, and "Drawn Water" at the Water Purification Plant at Fresh Pond.

As part of a celebration of the life and Work of author/illustrator James Marshall, his characters George and Martha visited the Kennedy Longfellow school in November, 2008
