If the cacophony of urban life influenced artists such as Lyonel Feininger to create powerful street scenes, how does working in a more tranquil space affect the work produced by contemporary artists? Visitors to the Concord Art Association can ponder this question, June 30-August 10, 2005, when artists from three area studios will present their work.

Over 100 artists from three Middlesex County studios, ArtSpace-Maynard, Emerson Umbrella (Concord/Carlisle), and The Mill at Littleton will present their work in a variety of media including painting, glass, sculpture, textiles and photography.

Please join us for the opening reception, June 30 from 6-8 pm at the Concord Art Association.

Since its founding in 1917, the Association has promoted and advanced contemporary art through exhibitions, lectures and classes. It also maintains a small permanent collection of art produced by leading early 20th century artists. It is located at 37 Lexington Road, Concord, MA. Hours are
