Do you know that there is a quiet, shaded, nature walk in the park downtown Dover?! Joe B Parks, Park is off Central Avenue and Chestnut St on the south side of the Cocheco. It's woodland gardens are loving tended by volunteers. There are benches throughout. It's a wonderful place for lunch or a quick walk for a break. Listen to the birds singing, watch the Mallard family of ducks on the river, feel the breeze. There are spots for sun and shade. Enter by the Central Ave bridge where the arched sculpture " Reaching Across" wlcomes you to this oasis.

Open Call for Dover Area Sculptors

Are you a large-form sculptor looking for opportunities to display your work locally with an end to getting noticed in a broader market?

The Dover Arts Commission (DAC Dover, New Hampshire) invites any sculptor (with a preference for showcasing local artists) to submit photos of work that will be around the new upscale Dover Waterfront district. Take a look at its website: https://waterfrontdistrictdover.com/

Please send photos or designs with approximate dimensions. Sculpture must be weatherproof, as it will be outdoors on a 5’ x 5’ concrete pad. At this point, the DAC is planning to rent sculptures for a six month
period, so we can showcase diverse art. Send it to DAC Commissioner Aleka Munroe at [email protected]. We encourage you to share this call for sculptures with fellow sculptors beyond the immediate Dover area.

The DAC meets the first Monday of each month, with the exception of holidays, in which case we meet the following Monday, in Dover City Hall Conference Room on the first floor. Meetings begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and are open to the public. If you wish to attend regarding this art call, please send the requested email first.
