What we do?
-
Workshops.
We enlist practicing artists to share their expertise. From sketching to collage to silkscreen, we aim to bring new medium and experiences to aspiring artists in our community.
-
Exhibitions.
We curate and jury original exhibitions at local venues, including the Tolles Parsons Center and Wellesley Free Library. Calls for Art enlist artists from Wellesley and neighboring communities.
-
Studio visits.
We coordinate excursions, bringing art appreciators to connect directly with practicing artists and gallery directors. These excursions and personal exchanages enrich the lives of residents.
-
Artist talks.
We invite a wide variety of painters and makers to share their artistic journey and demonstrate their process. We encourage a dialogue between artists and the audience.
-
Community art.
We plan and host an annual community art project called Art in the Park. This tradition has deep roots with our team and predates Art Wellesley.
-
Arts leadership.
We sit on the Public Art Committee to jury and promote traffic box submissions, and promote the interests of the arts with Town leadership as opportunities arise.
