Artist-educator and longtime devoted Keene communitarian.

I think Keene could use an art center...classes, gallery, residencies etc. We have the wonderfully successful MOCO Arts (Theater and Dance) and The Colonial (performing arts)

Stockwell's abstract painting - with its playful rhythms and linear structures - acknowledges the co-existence of mathematical order with the bodily, geometry tempered by blood and decay. It is a combination we are forced to confront in nature, but perhaps can more easily avoid in urban life.

I'm a pastel artist. I have participated in numerous Keene Art Walk events and am grateful to the downtown merchants that generously donate their storefront windows for this event. I love parking my car and just watching local people enjoying all of the art while on their self-tour. I also participated in Wall Dogs. I'm always interested in venues to get my paintings seen by the public and also interacting with them.

Art should be all over town. Sculptures are a huge way to liven up a place! Water Sculptures even better, especially if they're kid friendly and interactive. A pavillion for open air music, theater,, dancing, winter market, etc and can be home to Keene Farmer's Market.
I've been making art at 17Rox since they opened. We are eager to spread the art!

Art exhibitions can pop up anywhere! In empty store fronts- office spaces— green spaces! Sidewalks, sides of buildings, parking lots! Let’s not put art in the corridor let’s make it the hub of a thriving economy with opportunities for all!

Writing instruments furnish a unique platform for the artist. Within a very defined framework they provide opportunities to experiment with a wide selection of materials, from the many varieties of wood, natural materials like animal horn and stone dust, through modern plastics to metals both rare and common. Though the platform itself is small the diversity of styles give the artist an infinite scope of design possibilities.

Robert Seaman is an 89-years-old artist, living in Maplewood Assisted Living in Westmoreland, NH. Early on in the pandemic he started drawing a “doodle” a day. Through social media, the doodles caught on. So much so, WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicle and the Associated Press did stories on the doodles. He  is still doodling every day and will keep going until he just can’t do it any  longer.

50% of the proceeds of the sale of doodles goes to a different local charity each month.

I make modern and rustic jewelry with alcohol ink and resin. I just started a few years ago and things were going pretty great before the pandemic. I did participate in a few Artisan Markets, downtown Keene, this past year and those were great. Hoping for more things like that in the future!  linktr.ee/solusstudio

I'm a watercolorist who is exploring compatible mediums and pushing boundaries. Retiring about a year before the pandemic hit gave me the opportunity to jump back into creating art. It has been a bit of a struggle having everything shut down just as I was getting brave enough to start sharing what I was doing with the world. I am hoping that included in this project will be an opportunity for artists to come together for support, sharing ideas, displaying our art and having sales opportunities to help support what we do.

WHIRLYBIRD ISLAND, a murder mystery, is my latest novel, recently published by Plaidswede Publications. I was happy that the book designers used my digital artwork for the cover. The maple tree seed "whirlybird" is clearly visible. More obscured is a tracing of my own army "dog tag" from long ago, which represents a theme in this novel of war trauma. -- Ernest Hebert, Westmoreland, NH

add any details you'd like to describe your image - where, who, what, tell us about process or materials!

For example: This is Han, our Arts Ambassador engagement coordinator! They're wearing a shirt with an image designed by local artist Hannah Ellingwood. They're set up to recruit local art lovers at a Chamber After Hours event at GFA Credit Union in Keene. The photo behind them of the fire truck was taken by a local artist, and selected by GFA in a social media-based local art competition. The images on the other side of them are part of a campaign "the arts are here" designed by graphic design students at Keene State College.
