June 7 – September 15, 2024
Photowalk & Artist Reception – Saturday July 13th 2 to 5 pm
Vision(ary) is the Griffin Museum of Photography’s 5th Annual summer public art exhibition dedicated to the art of visual storytelling. Presented as a part of Winchester Waterfield Summer Arts Festival, the instillation will feature 18 individual installations with distinct photographic styles.
The Town of Winchester plays host to this summer exhibition, with installations throughout Winchester Town Center. Photographers from around New England and across the country are highlighted in a unique format. The exhibition concept and Photo Cube structures are designed by our long time partner, Photoville.
Creating a photographic walking trail around the town of Winchester, where the Griffin Museum is located, Vision(ary) is a public art installation showcasing national, international and New England photo based artists. Downtown Winchester is filled with sidewalk art, featuring the students of local Winchester schools and local Winchester based photographic artists.
The Griffin Museum is happy to partner with Photoville and the Winchester Cultural District again this year to bring this installation to life. It is also a pleasure to collaborate with the students of Network for Social Justice and MassArt.
Photosynthesis, our student portfolio development program, now in its 20th year, hangs on a banner in the Town Common. The students of Winchester and Burlington High Schools have worked this spring to develop visually engaging personal portfolios about their family, community and world around them. This program is sponsored by the John & Mary Murphy Foundation. We are grateful for their support of this project each year.
In a community initiative, Our Town is also featured on the wall at the Town Common, and on the walls of the Griffin Museum. We asked the local community for a vision of their family and community, and we recieved many images highlighting what we love about our surroundings, including the people and place of Winchester. We want to thank the Winchester Cultural Council and En Ka Society for their generous support in producing this exhibition.
Additional banners hung on light standards and sidewalk art installations can be found throughout Winchester’s downtown.
