Call for Entries

The Monadnock Region means many

things to many people. It is recognized

for its natural beauty. It is known as the

“Currier & Ives Corner” of New Hamp-

shire because of its remarkably intact

early New England historical record and

built environment. It is known for its

quintessential New England festivals

and cultural events. And it is known for

its people, from old-time New England

characters to those who have come to

love the region’s heritage, culture and

landscape. Our region illustrates the

story of New England history, culture

and natural environment.

What does the Monadnock Re-

gion mean to you? The Historical

Society of Cheshire County and

the region’s artists are collaborat-

ing on an exhibit that will allow

the artists to answer this question.

The people, places, heritage, and

culture of the Monadnock area

will be recognized and celebrated

in this collaborative exhibit. Art-

ists are encouraged to create

works that illustrate what the re-

gion means to them and how it

impacts their own lives.

The 40 towns of the Monadnock Region

are recognized for their natural beauty and

cultural heritage. This exhibit is paying

homage to those characteristics of “our”

region.

Monadnock’s four seasons, wildlife, lakes,

forests, fields, historical structures, people,

and cultural events offer an endless variety

of artistic opportunities. In the jurying

process we will consider artistic excellence

and variety as part of the selection process.

Location, subject, medium, and style will

all be taken into consideration.

Several lectures and programs will be

scheduled by the Historical Society in con-

junction with this exhibition. These will

focus on the region’s character and herit-

age in a historical, cultural and environ-

mental context, thereby giving additional

exposure to our special region.
