ASHLAND – Paint, draw, collage, and create a circle of love and kindness, this is the premise behind the 01721 Circle Of Love endeavor.
Inspired by a couple of similar community art projects, a couple of Ashland residents along with the Town of Ashland decided to create the 01721 Circle Of Love project.
This project open to individuals and businesses, is designed to use art as the engine that brings us all together and envelopes Ashland in a Circle Of Love.
The idea is to solicit circles based on the template provided and let folks get wild with their creativity.

Everyone can participate.
Residents, neighboring towns, their friends and relatives from any part of the world can participate in this initiative and join the 01721 Circle Of Love.
Once the Circle of Love artwork starts coming in, they will be displayed on social media, and in several other places.
Each of these art circles will then be used collectively to create large murals in public spaces like Town Hall, Community Center, School Buildings and much, much, more. Everyone of all ages can participate.
Templates for the circles, samples of completed COL artwork and more information are currently available onthe 01721 Circle Of Love Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/01721circleoflove/).
Starting Monday May 25 2020, templates will also be available at The Corner Spot as well.
