SUMMARY:Concord250 Lantern Lighting Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Lighting the Way Toward Liberty and Justice for All \nPresented by Art for All in partnership with the Concord Museum. Special thanks to Newbury Court for providing the principal funding \nIn honor of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, Art for All\, a Concord-based community arts organization\, proudly presents the Concord250 Lantern\, a 10-foot-tall commemorative lantern inspired by the historic signal lights of April 19\, 1775. \nSymbolizing the lanterns in the steeple of Boston’s North Church used in a signal arranged by Paul Revere to announce the movement of the British Regulars on the night of April 18th\, 1775 —“one if by land\, two if by sea”—this modern artistic tribute echoes the enduring pursuit of freedom and justice. The only surviving lantern from that night is on view at the Concord Museum\, making this location a fitting site for the illumination of this new commemorative work. The ceremonial lighting will take place on Sunday\, March 23\, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM on the lawn of the Concord Museum. In an Olympic-style journey\, bicyclists will carry an LED torch from Boston to Concord\, symbolically bringing the light of liberty forward into a new era. \nThis family-friendly community event invites attendees to reflect on the ideals of democracy while witnessing a moment of artistic and historical significance. For more information\, visit artforallconcord.org or concordmuseum.org \nAbout Art for All: Art for All fosters community connection through public art projects\, workshops\, and collaborations that bring creativity to everyone regardless of ability or circumstance.
