Carrie Burnett+FollowCharlestown’s wild new art: Giant octopus & friendsA massive 36-foot bronze octopus just took up residence at the Charlestown Naval Shipyard, and it’s not alone—each tentacle hosts a different wild animal, from gorilla to zebra. This whimsical sculpture, “The Arms of Friendship,” is part of the “Wildlife Wonders” collection by artists Gillie and Marc, aiming to connect Charlestown’s divided neighborhoods. Two more playful installations nearby invite you to sit at a wild animal banquet or join a rabbit-headed figure encouraging a hippo to try something new. These sculptures aren’t just art—they’re conversation starters about community, food, and who gets a seat at the table. Who would you invite? #Entertainment #Painting #CharlestownArt00Share
