LOVE

Is it possible that I never posted anything about last year's fabulous Art in the Park? Let me just say it was incredible...I loved planning it with a wonderful group of women, designing and fabricating it with the help of generous craftsmen, and then prepping, installing, and ultimately, engaging the community to embellish! LOVE it...

Wellesley, MA, May 2, 2017 – 

Wellesley Women Artisans Organize 5^th Annual Art in the Park

as part of Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend

Wellesley Women Artisans is pleased to announce the 5^th annual Art in the Park community art event to be held in Simons Park (directly adjacent to the Wellesley Free Library) on Saturday May 20, 2017 from 1-4pm. This community event, organized in collaboration with Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend, is designed to promote creativity and is accessible to all ages, featuring different mediums and materials each year.

Our project this year will result in a large-scale community message of LOVE. By decorating and collaging scrap wood and found materials into this simple message of unification, participants will have the opportunity to express themselves, have fun, and leave their imprint on a community made collage piece.

Wellesley Women Artisans started the free annual event in 2013 with the idea of building community while tapping into Wellesley’s creative side. In previous years, visitors have painted recycled record albums, woven fabric onto discarded picture frames, and drawn portraits of their Wellesley neighbors.

All materials are provided at the event and the finished art piece remains on public view for weeks. The event is made possible by the generous support of Wellesley’s Natural Resources Commission, Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club and Wellesley Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
