The public is invited to attend the free opening reception and awards ceremony for the Stronger Together: Art for Democracy contest on Saturday, May 2, from 6-8 pm at 19 Foster St. (First Church Unitarian), Littleton, Mass. Nearly 50 New England artists of all ages shared their creativity in celebration of diversity, democracy, and the American spirit.
Gallery hours on Sunday, May 3 are 1 to 4:30 pm at the same accessible location, free and open to the public. At a time when our country feels deeply divided, the Art for Democracy contest highlights shared democratic values and civic engagement, and offers opportunities for connections across communities.
The project is sponsored by: the Reclaiming our Democracy Task Force of First Church Unitarian in Littleton; the League of Women Voters of Westford; and the Littleton and Westford Cultural Councils.
The top entries will be exhibited at various venues in Eastern Massachusetts in the coming months, including the Parish Center for the Arts and Muffins on Main in Westford and the Community Gallery of the Fitchburg Art Museum.
Thank you for supporting creativity, community, and free speech, which is basic to democracy. For more information, contact artfordemocracy@fculittle.org.
