HarborArts is an art organization located at 256 Marginal Street in East Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded by artist Steve Israel in 2009. The organization uses public art installations to address the vital roles oceans play in the sustainability of the planet, and to promote creative and sustainable ways of living. Its main feature is an outdoor gallery hosted on the grounds of the Boston Harbor Shipyard, on Boston Harborwalk.[1][2]
Founder Steve Israel is an artisan and pioneer in the salvage and recycling industry. Israel's work has been featured on Good Morning America, in Time,[3] and in Newsweek. His focus is on creative and technological advances leading toward a sustainable, responsible utilization of water resources.
The founding project of the organizations was a series of monumental sculptures. One piece is a 40-foot (12 m) orange codfish, an over 2-short-ton (1,800 kg) sculpture made from re-purposed materials currently on display at the HarborArts International Outdoor Gallery.
