Art for Water raises awareness of global water issues through public-participation art projects and events. Its first project, 13,699, is an installation that uses clear plastic, recycled water bottle caps to represent people who die every day because they do not have access to clean water.
The Monadnock Area Artists Association sponsors Art in the Park each year over Labor Day weekend. It is a one-day public outdoor art show in the lovely garden walkways of Ashuelot River Park on West Street in Keene. This is a juried exhibition and attracts artists from all over New England to exhibit and sell their work.
Each year during the first week of June, crowds of school children can be found walking along Main Street in Keene and stopping at each storefront. The children aren't necessarily window shopping, instead they are participating in the annual Art Walk. More than forty store windows serve as a public gallery in this juried exhibit of local and regional artists. The free event is open to the public and features paintings, sculptures, photographs, textiles, ceramics, and furniture.

Our mission is to network with each other, educate, and show the public and business community the resources they have right here for their creative needs.
