Sent from my iPhone Tis Lincoln what about LINCOLN Lexington, MA Launches Call for Artists for 250th Celebration |
|
In April 2025, Lexington will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington that took place on April 19, 1775. As part of the 250th celebration, the Lex250 Commission and the Town of Lexington are commissioning a permanent commemorative artwork to serve as a monument to reflect on the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, its lasting impact as a global event, and consider how Lexington’s story resonates across generations. The Call for Artists invites artists to engage with Lexington’s story and the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. This public art call is open to all interested artists or artists teams 18 years old or older. Learn more about the project here. Please share this opportunity throughout your networks! |
