Join us for the annual Nashua International Sculpture Symposium event! Each year the Symposium invites sculptors from around the world to stay in Nashua for 3 weeks. Each artist creates a large-scale public sculpture to be permanently installed in the city.

This year our visiting artists are from New Zealand/Benin, UK/France, South Korea, and the US. The artists work outdoors rain or shine and the community is invited to come and watch them work. You may literally see these sculptures come to life!

Beginning May 10th, stop in daily (except Sundays) between 9 am and 6 pm. The event is free and open to the public and accessible to all! You may also pick up a map to take a tour of the 49 sculptures already displayed throughout the city of Nashua.

Join us for the opening reception on May 9th at 5:30 PM at the Picker Artists, 3 Pine Street, Nashua, NH.

More information and special events related to the Symposium (Opening and Closing ceremonies, children’s workshops, etc.) may be found online at www.nashuasculpturesymposium.org.
