Nashua Sculpture
Symposium
"Footprints"
|
In 2008, the Andres Institute of Art co-sponsored the first of the Footprints Series
International Sculpture Symposia in Nashua, NH. This was co-ordinated through Meri
Goyette, a longtime supporter of the arts in Nashua, John M. Weidman, co-founder and
director of the Andres Institute of Art, the City of Nashua, City Arts Nashua, the Nashua
Area Artists Association and of course, the Andres Institute of Art as the umbrella
organization with it's 501-c-3 status. This allowed donations, material, guidance to be
directed to the Nashua Symposium of that year, themed "First Footprints". The Institute
also supplied material, technical guidance and the organization of the symposia.
Again in 2009, the Andres Institute co-sponsored the second of the Footprints symposia:
"Future".
Both of these events were, (and are) a great success, and the City of Nashua has a total
of nine contemporary artworks for the public to enjoy.
