SYMPOSIUM 2021
This year, in order to keep the Symposium feasible under the pandemic circumstances, we are following last year’s structure of having a three-month working period from July 15 to October 15 and giving artists flexibility to schedule. The four participant artists are Scott Crystal, Kevin Duffy, Marin Murakoshi and Yin Peet. Kevin and Marin were in our 2020 Symposium and this year, with great spirit, they have come back to continue the mission. Indeed, the four artists have pulled off another successful year for our “New Art Archaeology” program.
Although we have learned how to handle the pandemic a little better, the variant of the COVID-19 virus forced us to push our Opening to the public from August to September. We managed to successfully hold an Opening on August 29. Since then, we have decided to open our art ground to the public every day by appointment only so that we can minimize the visitor’s risk of the pandemic. At the conclusion of the Symposium, we want to thank the following Towns Cultural Councils for supporting the endeavor this year: Acton-Boxborough, Ayer, Billerica, Chelmsford, Concord, Littleton and Westford. Also, we would like to thank The Oasis Foundation forgiving us a generous donation, and to Mark & Pat Smith and Enterprise Bank for steadily supporting our Symposium and general program yearly.
