studios without walls

Background

Studios Without Walls is a Brookline-based collaborative group of sculptors and conceptual artists who produce exhibitions of art in outdoor and public settings. We emphasize our community ties in both our exhibitions and programs of educational outreach. Our purpose is to expand and educate audiences in and around Brookline to appreciate, participate in, and become enriched by sculpture, installation, and conceptual art.

We have been producing exhibitions together since 1997 – originally at Allandale Farm in conjunction with Brookline Artists Open Studios – and consistently adding additional exhibitions and venues. All members all share in the annual determination of priorities and planning of the exhibits and receive feedback and stimulation from one another throughout the year.

We seek to project a full and lively presence in the community, increasing public visibility of creative thinking at work in our own backyard. We are committed to solidifying relationships already forged in the schools, Senior Center, libraries, as well as indoor and outdoor public spaces. We seek new ways to bring audiences to our work and share our process with our audience. We emphasize creative dialogue with the community-at-large, continuing to investigate opportunities for public art and elevating public discourse on the arts in the press and before Town officials. We advocate for public art at public meetings and worked to make art an important part of the Brookline Tercentenary Celebration.
