2016 Art Ramble

2016 Art Ramble
Concord’s Hapgood Wright Town Forest
June 2, 2016 - September 5, 2016

First Thursday Opening Reception:
June 2, 2016 from 6-8pm
Concord's Hapgood Wright Town Forest

Welcome to the 2016 Art Ramble  -- an outdoor art installation in the Hapgood Wright Town Forest. This collaborative project with the Concord Department of Natural Resources celebrates all the arts. Sculpture, poetry, dance, and dramatic readings encourage the intersection of art, nature, and community in a historic natural setting.  

The arts offer a doorway for exploring our relationship with nature and place.  An exhibit map will guide you through the exhibit at your own pace. And our calendar of special events and activities offers numerous opportunities to engage with the artists and with nature along the trails. 

We invite you to visit often, reflect, and play.  Share your experiences via writing and drawing in the journals provided along the trail.  Or make your own art using natural materials in the forest.  

Meet Our Curator, Ursula Ziegler

“It’s been a rumble-tumble-fantastic-interesting road, and it has already exposed us to so many interesting-important dialogues, thoughts, and ideas. Beyond the visible part of art works in a public space, there is an equally important but less visible part, which are the conversations, networks, and structures that are created within our local community and beyond. We hope that these behind the scenes processes will become a strong and positive ground for future art rambles.”
