Arts Around Town
A
As summer arrives in Concord, we are delighted to see many of our town’s extraordinary art venues continuing their online programs and adding live events as national, state, and local governments issue updated guidance on safely coming together once more. This summer will bring exciting visual arts programs, a concert, and even live theatre once again. Please check each organization’s website for more information on events and the steps they are taking to keep attendees safe. Courtesy of the artist Ying Li
