The city of Cambridge is inviting local artists to submit their original work to the second annual Vacant Storefront Creative Design Contest.
The program, designed by the Community Development Department and Cambridge Arts, supports local artists and energizes neighborhoods by filling empty store windows with reproductions of locally-made art.
The inaugural Vacant Storefront Creative Design Contest, which began in early 2019, received over 400 entries of original artwork. Five winners were chosen � Karl Baden, Malia Edney, Judith Motzkin, Deidre Tao and Shane Taremi � and their art has been featured in nine commercial properties across Cambridge since last spring.

SpaceUs transforms empty storefronts in creative spaces
Stephanie Lee and Ellen Shakespear met on a bus. At the time, both were graduate students at MIT; Lee was studying architecture and Shakespear was studying urban planning. Both were excited to be a part of their respective programs. But they were both frustrated by a campus culture they felt was “incredibly insular.”
The chance meeting led to an ongoing rapport, and a similar realized frustration about the evolution of urban space in and around Cambridge, Massachusetts, where MIT is based. For its part, the city of Cambridge has launched a “ Vacant Storefront Initiative ,” and an associated database and interactive map that catalogues empty storefronts in the municipality; the database currently lists 72 addresses of varying lease status.
