Sculpt This Space

The West Concord Cultural District Committee (WCCDC) seeks a temporary installation of a sculpture that will celebrate nature and the peace it brings while inviting visitors to enjoy the gardens of Junction Park. The artwork is proposed as a one-year loan, with the potential for renewal of the term of installation.

Applications close April 3, 2026.

West Concord is home to artisan shops, cafés, restaurants, artists, performing-art centers, and a rich array of natural and historical landmarks. The WCCDC leverages these local resources to strengthen the Village's identity and increase visitation. Since its founding in 2016, in partnership with the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the WCCDC has provided financial and organizational support for community celebrations and public art. 

The proposed site is within a grassy area of Junction Park near the corner of Main Street and Commonwealth Avenue in West Concord.  This lively pocket park is steps away from the West Concord MBTA commuter rail stop, beside the path of the regional Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, and is within our business district. It is a frequent gathering place for neighbors, visitors and commuters and has attractive gardens well-tended by the team of volunteers of the West Concord Green Thumbs.
