The Art of History in Framingham: Medium & Memory
On view at FHC Edgell Memorial Library
3 Oak Street, Framingham, MA 01701
Tuesdays – Saturdays, 10:00am – 4:00pm
Our community remembers history in many ways: through stories, through text, through objects, through art. “The Art of History in Framingham” explores how art preserves, interprets, and shapes our understanding of Framingham’s history.
Each section features a different medium of art, with works selected exclusively from our collection. Some of the art is included for the way it explores Framingham’s history; other art is included because the artist helped Framingham become more well-known. All selections highlight how art is a vessel for meaning and memory.
This exhibition is an unfolding story; every medium features new work by contemporary artists in response to an artifact in our collection. In the interactive areas, please touch, listen, create, and even smell when prompted – you are building this exhibition with us.
