The Arsenal Center for the Arts (Arsenal ARTS) presents Nature and Balance, a free, outdoor exhibition of public art, open June – October 2008, on the campus of The Arsenal on the Charles, Watertown. The exhibit—which features (among other installations) life-sized elk, a ten-foot mancala board, and webbing that connects elements on the campus—offers individuals and families the chance to interact with art in a “can touch” environment.

This year’s juried exhibit showcases the work of Gillian Christy, Nicole Colella, Nick Edmonds, Rebecca Greene, Linda Hoffman, Kate Kaman, Wendy Klemperer, Thomas Matsuda, Laura Morrison, and Yuya Shiratori.

The opening celebration on Sunday, June 22 from 12 to 4 pm will include guided walking tours on the historic grounds of the former Watertown Arsenal; artists’ talks; art activities; live music by the band Girls, Guns, and Glory; and improv theatre activities by the Watertown Children’s Theatre. Three other Community Art Days on July 27, August 24, and October 19 will include walking tours; artists’ talks; live music by Atlas Soul, Louise Grasmere, and Eight to the Bar; and theatre and art activities for all ages. All events are free and open to the public. Visit www.arsenalarts.org for more information.
