Bow Market Call for Art

[Somerville, MA, March 11, 2024]

Bow Market is excited to announce its first call for public art. Bow is commissioning a large, 2D piece to adorn one of the exterior walls in the main courtyard. The commission for the artwork is $5,000. Responses should be inspired by the theme “Small is Beautiful”. Co-owner, Matt Boyes-Watson explains, “Small is Beautiful” is a core tenet of Bow Market. It’s an important part of our story and we’re excited for it to become a part of our visual identity.”

Co-founder, Zach Baum shares, “Bow Market is built around the belief that small businesses run locally by individuals are beautiful. The care that’s present, the creativity of working in confined space, the concentration of thoughtfulness - something we summarize as “love per square inch” — produces wildly palpable results”.

Interested artists can find more on the Bow Market website, including application details, specifics of the hanging medium, and a fuller explanation for what “Small is Meaningful” means to the Bow Market team.

The application window is now open and runs through May 1, 2024.
