This spring, the Lexington Council for the Arts will continue to transform some of the Town’s utility boxes into works of art. Utility boxes hold all the equipment that keeps our town ticking.
Our country will be commemorating the United States Semiquincentennial, 250 years since we fought for independence. Lexington was an integral part of the events that shaped our nation’s history. There are many ways to tell this story. Consider the issues and people who lived during this revolutionary period. What are the untold stories of these people? Think beyond the Minute Men. As we move forward in time, think about how liberty and freedom changed our country. How will liberty and freedom be viewed in our future? Use your imagination and create a design that helps us understand our past or shape our future.
We invite artists, from in or out of Lexington and who are at least 18 years old, to submit an original design for the theme As We Turn 250 by April 5, 2024, to be considered for this year’s jury. Artists will be compensated $500 per box.
To find out more details and for a submission form, email Laurie Bogdan at laurie.bogdan@gmail.com
