SUMMARY:Louisa May Alcott and the Journey to Universal Enfranchisement
DESCRIPTION:  \nMeet at the Concord Town House to celebrate an auspicious moment in our history:  March 29th marks 145 years to the day that Louisa May Alcott\, famed authoress of Little Women and hundreds of other literary works\, became the first woman of Concord to cast a vote in a Town election! \nJoin in the excitement within the very room in the Town House where voting took place\, support the brave band of 19 other women who also voted for School Committee on that triumphant day\, and revel in the newfound empowerment these women achieved by actively participating in democracy as never before! \n  \nLeading the march to the ballot box will be Jan Turnquist – Executive Director of Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House\, world-renowned Living History portrayer of Miss Alcott\, and a Concord resident – who will also speak to and lead a discussion of the meaning of enfranchisement for Concord residents then and now.  Also participating in the voting re-enactment will be Concord’s own Joe Palumbo\, portraying Judge Hoar — and hopefully you\, too! \n  \nThis event\, which is dedicated to the ideals of liberty\, personal agency\, and universal suffrage\, is free and open to all.  Light refreshments served.

SUMMARY:Fight for Freedom Public Art Project in Monument Square Community Forum
DESCRIPTION:Three semi-finalists have been selected to present their proposals for a temporary work to be installed on Monument Square in the fall of 2024.  The works explore ideas to creatively interpret the ways in which people have struggled for the fight for freedom through time in Concord\, Massachusetts. Taking inspiration from the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution in 2025\, the town seeks artists to consider the ways in which two 19th century Concord residents – Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862) and Ellen Garrison (1823 – 1892) – continued this fight for independence through the abolitionist cause. Through a visually compelling artwork\, we hope to more deeply investigate a pivotal time in Concord’s past to bring overlooked stories to the fore and to more actively grapple with our generation’s work to provide liberty and justice for all.\nOn March 6\, 2023 at 6:30 PM\, in person and on Zoom\, the public is given the opportunity to meet the artists\, view presentations and models of the work\, and provide feedback that will inform the final projects presented by: \nSilvana Mizrahi\nLiz Helfer\nKrystle Colleen Brown\nWednesday\, March 6\, 2024 \nIn person:\nHearing Room\nTown House\n22 Monument Square \nZoom :\nbit.ly/3OQ9JrZ \nThis project is presented by the Town of Concord as part of “Making It Public\,” a program of the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) with Forecast and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). This program seeks to support more diverse\, inclusive\, and equitable public artmaking across Massachusetts.
