Arts on the Farm: Let Coggeshall be your muse

Living history museum invites artists to find inspiration on the historic farm.

Posted

The Second Annual Arts on the Farm project takes place now through the end of August at Coggeshall Farm Museum, a living history museum in Bristol, depicting the lives of 18th-century tenant farmers.

Artists working in all media are invited to use Coggeshall as a place of inspiration this summer, leading to a formal exhibition in the fall at Hope & Main in Warren. Artists are encouraged to set up easels, bring instruments, take photographs, or stake out a piece of grass for writing or creative movement.

Participating artists should submit digital or hard-copy versions of their Coggeshall-inspired work to the Arts on the Farm Exhibition by September 1. Submissions may be emailed to e.langham@coggeshallfarm.org or mailed to Eleanor Langham, Coggeshall Farm Museum, 1 Colt Drive, Bristol, RI 02809. Entries will be judged by a panel including members of the East Bay arts and museum community.

Participating artists and their guests pay regular daily admission, or they may purchase a membership which provides free access to the farm during all regular open hours, year-round. There is no entry fee to submit work to the Arts on the Farm Exhibition. Weekday admission to Coggeshall is $3 for children, seniors and active-duty military; $5 for adults. Weekend admission is $5 for children, seniors and military; $7 for adults. 

For more information, visit www.coggeshallfarm.org, email e.langham@coggeshallfarm.org or call 401/253-9062.
