2017 Projects:

Project 1: Rincon Mexicano            

ESMS assisted Rincon Mexicano successfully expand their business. In addition, ESMS worked hand-in-hand with Rincon to secure a permanent liquor license and plan the February 2017 grand re-opening.

Project 2: Deano's Pasta Factory

ESMS collaborated with the Somerville Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, Mudflat Studio, the Somerville Media Center, and Deano’s Pasta Factory to have local artists Laura Smith and Nate Swain create a beautiful, colorful mural along the wall of Deano’s on Cross Street E. After the first mural was completed, Deano’s wanted to add another mural to their factory, this time to aid in sales and exposure. ESMS connected Deano’s with street artist Nate Swain, who completed a stunning mural in 2018 that spans 2 sides of the building (Garfield Ave and Blakely Ave). The newest mural depicts the inner workings of the pasta factory.
