On December 28th 2007 Douglas Kornfeld was commissioned to create a sculpture for Mozart Park in Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA
The Hyde Square Task Force has received a grant from Art & Community Landscapes, a program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, which supports site-based art as a catalyst for increased environmental awareness and stewardship. The grant will support the planning and design of an entry design feature in Mozart Park, a 0.81 acre, building-lot size park located along Centre Street in Jamaica Plain's Hyde/Jackson Square neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The design process will engage the community and youth in particular.

Douglas Kornfeld, in partnership with Helen Duncan, will lead a group of 6-10 High School students through a 10 week public art and design course. The classes will build technical, cooperative and leadership skills and provide the artist with an important connection to the Hyde Square/Mozart park community.
The artist plans a number of meetings with the Hyde/Jackson Square community to to introduce his work and design process. The many interactions with the Hyde/Jackson Square community will help to inspire the design of the sculpture.
