This post identifies the thirteen artworks in Urban Symphony, the 27th annual by Studios Without Walls. But it looks a bit more closely at four. With hopes to do sequel posts that focus on a few more each time, my main goal now is to connect you with the resources that get you to this exhilarating exhibit, at least online, well before it ends September 7, 2026!

I am lucky to live near enough to enjoy this engaging exhibit throughout July and August. Before June ends, I’m posting quotes, links and a few samples to lead you there in person or at least online!  “Studios Without Walls, a Brookline nonprofit, is sponsoring Dream Upon the River, its 26th annual exhibition. Twenty-one local artists have created site-specific works of art that will remain on view at Riverway Park throughout the summer.” (till Sept 1)

Delighted to finally visit this annual outdoor exhibit, I hope that it will return each spring for another 25 years at least! Next year I vow to visit as soon as it starts and to revisit several times before it ends. Here are some quickly selected photos along with quotes and links about the art, artists, ideas, interactions, and attractions in “This is ART.”
