Eleven Artists Selected for the Art and Agriculture Project

We are proud to announce that eleven local artists have been selected for the yearlong Arts & Agriculture collaboration between the Concord Agriculture Committee and The Umbrella’s Musketaquid Arts and Environment program.

Last week, a jury consisting of Jerry Wedge from The Umbrella, Kate James from the Concord Art Association, and David Wood from the Concord Museum met to consider the applicants.  The jury was impressed with the high level of experience and varied points of view from all who submitted. 

We look forward to working with the following artists over the next year as we explore the relationship between Art and Agriculture.  Mark your calendars for their final exhibit in the fall of 2016!

• Sing Hanson from Bedford, MA
• Linda Hoffman from Harvard, MA
• Robert Bicknell from Groton, MA
• Lonnie Harvey from Carlisle, MA
