Call to Artists Nashoba Brooks School in Concord, MA is transforming their beautifully forested campus into an ArtWalk destination experience this summer. The ArtWalk is scheduled as an outdoor display from late June through the end of August. A total of 20 pieces will be selected for the ArtWalk. Outdoor art pieces should be centered around the theme of “Yes, and…,” which has its roots in theatrical improvisation. This concept serves as an opportunity to acknowledge a perspective and to then add to it, encouraging an opening up for further exploration, consideration, conversation, and collaboration. The practice of “Yes, and…,” thinking can be a beautiful foray into partnership, learning, deeper understanding, and community building. We invite your creativity in sharing art that celebrates this concept and practice. Please recognize that these works of art will be on display outdoors on their School campus, which serves students from Preschool to Grade 8, and should therefore be appropriate to their age cohort and in keeping with our School’s core values of Inclusivity, Resilience, Empathy, Collaboration & Integrity. Please submit photographs highlighting multiple dimensions of your artwork along with a description of its connection to the “Yes, and…” theme. Submissions will be considered and decided upon by committee on or before mid-May. Direct submissions and questions to Amy Leahy, Coordinator of Campus Rentals & Strategic Initiatives, at aleahy@nashobabrooks.org.
