Check out the new art installation: Bridge of Joy

Experience the Bridge of Joy, a public art installation bringing large, joyful sculptures to Charlestown.

Installed to connect both sides of the Tobin Bridge—long a dividing line within the neighborhood—these three bronze works by internationally renowned artists Gillie and Marc were created to surprise, delight, and symbolically deepen Charlestown’s connection to the Navy Yard, and to each other as a community.

This project is presented by Navy Yard Garden & Art, with generous support from community sponsors and civic partners. Read all about it here!
