The ArtWalk Committee invites artists and creatives to participate in yet another community project to celebrate art in our town.  This project provides 4 x 4 in. wooden poles to be painted in bright colors and grouped together for an installation at the Visitors' Center and other prominent locations in town beginning March 15 - April 30, 2021.

Interested artists do not need to be professionals to participate - we encourage community and student artists.  

Plain wooden poles will be available for pick up Monday, February 15 onwards, while supplies last.  To pick up a pole, please sign up HERE for pick-up instructions.  We are asking for a $9 contribution to help offset materials costs (see below).

For more information, email lexartwalk@gmail.com or call the MCA office at 781.862.6040.  Return painted poles Monday, March 12, 8:30 - 12noon.

ARTIST TIPS:

• Use bright colors and bold designs that can be seen from a distance

  • ​Exterior house paint, or outdoor furniture paint
  • Interior house paint with a coat of  sealer
  • Acrylic paint with a coat of sealer
• Be sure to paint post with the bottom with the end that has a hole in it
• Posts will be mounted onto rebar (hence hole) and none of it will be underground.  Posts may be covered in snow however.
