Can trash cans make you happy?  The SW Corridor trash barrels got a beautiful make-over recently and if you find yourself spontaneously smiling as you walk through, it might just be because of the beautiful artwork on them created by local artist Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth is a visual artist who has been living and working in the South End for the past 20 years and her work touches on themes of natural preservation in the urban landscape and beyond. 
Quarantined at home in early March, Elizabeth began experimenting with abstract shapes and colors based on leaves and flowers. When Franco at the SW Corridor asked if she could paint the barrels, she thought these designs would fit right in. The natural world has always been an inspiration for her, but this summer she has felt especially fortunate to be surrounded by such beautifully cultivated gardens and the people who made them.  Thanks, Elizabeth, for making our corridor even more enjoyable!

The Southwest Corridor Park Conservancy (SWCPC) is a volunteer not-for- profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2004 to raise funds to maintain the beauty and functionality of the Southwest Corridor Park.
​
Their goal at the Conservancy is to restore, maintain, and enhance the park, and to enrich our community's experience in the park.  They want to be a catalyst for positive change.  Since Their beginning in 2004, they have been driven by the same ideas they founded  their organization on, support, empowerment, and progress.
