The exhibition will be installed on Saturday,  June 6 and Sunday, June 7 and will remain until September 13, 2020 at the Elaine and Philip Beals Preserve, Southborough, Massachusetts.

Theme: Rising Up

“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but rising up every time we fail”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we move through our lives, in our communities, in our world, we are challenged. How do we face those challenges and move forward with courage? Artists responding to this theme are asked to consider this question and respond with proposals that answer the question or demonstrate the rising of the human spirit.

Installation Weekend:
June 6 & 7, 10 AM-5 PM each day
Due to the current world health crisis, the in-person opening event has been canceled. In it’s place, the public is welcome to visit during installation weekend on June 6 & June 7, as well as watch live streaming of the artists. 

Beginning in June, we will be accepting poetry submissions in response to the installations. Learn more here.
