“The mission of ArtSpace, a non-profit community arts center in Maynard, MA, is to provide affordable studio space to local artists, exhibit contemporary art from New England artists and maintain an active community outreach program.”
Dear ArtSpace Friends:
As you’re aware, Governor Baker has declared a State of Emergency in Massachusetts in response to the coronavirus situation, and has urged institutions to limit or eliminate large events.
Accordingly, ArtSpace Maynard will be closed to the public until April 6th, or until further notice. This includes our galleries, artist-led classes, and gallery talks. Please help ArtSpace spread the word by sharing these posts. We will do our best to update our Instagram posts so that our gallery exhibitions can continue to be enjoyed online.
We look forward to reconnecting with the public soon! In the meantime, be well.
Jerry Beck
Executive Director

OUT OF THE BOX
Thirty-five artists at ArtSpace Maynard have challenged each other to create art from a collection of interesting junk. Each artist prepared a cardboard box containing objects: feathers, a horseshoe crab shell, fur, fabric, CPAP hoses, Bandaids, old garments, etc. The box could include almost anything. These boxes were distributed at random among the participating artists, who pushed themselves to think ‘out of the box’ in creatively responding to its unique contents. This challenge has brought artists in this community together to commiserate, share stories of progress and frustration, and to support each other in letting go of our typical creative response, stepping into entirely new territory. Join us for our Valentine’s Day Reception as we reveal the results of this unusual process!
