Public Art Walk

Introduction

The Settlers Green Public Art Walk is an outdoor exhibition that provides a cultural opportunity for the community by creating awareness and enjoyment of public art in North Conway.

Background

Settlers Green commissioned six artists in 2016 in order to incorporate public art into the landscape throughout the property. Request for proposals were sent out to artists from throughout New England asking for submissions that reflected themes such as dance, community, whimsical, mountains, granite and fashion. Over 20 artists submitted work and six were chosen, two of which are local artists. The artwork has been incorporated into the architectural planning of the shopping center's streetscape, along with gardens, play areas, and comfortable seating and other additions to the shopping experience. Since the original six public art pieces were added, we've continued to add new art annually.
