MassArt alum and 2025 MassArt Common Good Award recipient Tracy Silva Barbosa, BFA ’99, Glass, created the public installation Equinox at the New Bedford Pedestrian Bridge—now a Platinum Winner at the 2026 International Architecture and Design Awards.

“According to Barbosa, the project demonstrates how infrastructure can serve multiple purposes at once: solving a mobility challenge, improving access to transit, strengthening neighborhood connections, and creating a memorable civic landmark. It is also an important statement about the role of art in shared public spaces.” Read the full story in The Standard Times.
