NASHUA – Three artists, one a native of Argentina now living in Boston, another from upstate New York and the third a former New York City resident who recently moved to Mid-Coast Maine, all have their sights set on Nashua and the 14th annual Nashua International Sculpture Symposium coming up in about a month.
Nora Valdez, a friend of a sculptor who participated in the symposium several years ago, will join Sam Finkelstein and Gavin Kenyon as this year’s featured sculptors.
Symposium organizers will introduce the artists at the opening reception, which is scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday, May 20, at a location yet to be determined. The plan is to have the reception filmed by Access Nashua and replayed later that evening, according to Gail Moriarty, the symposium’s president and the owner of The Picker Artists building.
