Commissioned by the Cambridge Arts Council in 1987, artist Lisa Houck painted the outdoor mural The Bluefish
is Good Tonight and it was installed at 237 Hampshire Street in Cambridge. Bluefish was a celebration of Inman
Square: jazz music, seafood restaurants, and creativity from nearby artists’ studios. Although the best paint
available was used at the time, the colors severely faded after two decades. With the Cambridge Arts Public Art
Conservation Program, and in collaboration with the Cambridge Health Alliance, Lisa Houck and assistants
repainted the mural to its original vibrant colors.
