Hello friends, I am reaching out from my heart in the hopes of inspiring my community to join me in participating in the Small Town, Big HeArt public art project. Let's create something that moves us all closer together and tells our story. The more we express our love in our community the more our connection grows.
There is still time to pick up a heart, the due date has been extended to May 31st. You don't need to be an artist, all you need is an expression of love for our community, this project is open to all!
Dog Days of Summer will be back next year with a call to artists going out this fall. Yes, this is a different canvas this year but the mission is the same. To make a positive impact in the community through creativity and the power of art.
We are the sum of our hearts. This project is important. How beautiful it will be to see our collective HeArt on display. Please consider participating. I am so grateful to be part of this beautiful community, thank you Boonton for being such a wonderful place to call home!
Love, Kristy
Small Town, Big HeArt Project, Summer 2024
Boonton Arts invites you to join us in a new collaborative community art project! The Small Town, Big Heart Project is an opportunity for community members and students to create a 12” custom panel to be displayed in store front windows this summer.
To participate, you can pick up a blank panel at Boonton Arts / Speakeasy Art Gallery at 816 Main Street, Boonton. We are asking a donation of $25 to help fund this and future Boonton Arts projects, We are inclusive to all and are happy to waive the donation fee for anyone who requests. We don't want the fee to be an obstacle, we want all who wish to participate to do so!
Pickup and drop off hours are:
Tuesdays 4-8:30pm
Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays 4-5:30pm
Saturdays 10am-2pm
Panels must be completed and brought back with registration to Boonton Arts by May 31st!
You don’t have to be an artist to participate, any and all are welcome to create a piece for the exhibit! Looking for ideas? Think about how you can convey what our Boonton community means to you. What makes it special? What is your favorite thing about our community? What locations in the community are special to you or have made a difference in your life? Why is it important? What unites us? What is our strength? What is our connection? How do we support one another? What moves or impacts you? Who, what and where inspires you?
Panels will be yours to keep at the conclusion of the exhibit. We can't wait to see your ideas come to life!
