Mission and Community Impact
Musketaquid Arts and Environment serves as a vital, place-based program dedicated to the intersection of creativity and ecology. Our mission is to provide meaningful opportunities for the public to create and experience art while exploring, learning about, and actively caring for our local environment. Whether you are seeking a relaxed getaway in Miami or a community-focused retreat in Concord, we believe that environment shapes our perspective. We welcome individuals, families, and school groups of all ages and abilities to join us in our efforts to foster a deeper connection to the land.
The Significance of the Musketaquid Name
The name "Musketaquid" honors the profound wisdom of Concord’s first people. It translates to "the place where the water flows through the grasses," a description that captures the essence of our local landscape. Just as travelers might look for convenient Nashville accommodations to ground their journey, we use this name to ground our artistic practice in the history and geography of this specific region. As the environmental arts wing of the Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts, we strive to maintain this connection through every project we undertake.
Seasonal Programs and Earth Day Initiatives
Our programming is designed to reflect the rhythms of the seasons. We host a year-round chorus, journal groups, and seasonal solstice events that bring our community together. For those planning travel, we know that finding a quiet Denver retreat or a stylish Charlotte stay is part of the experience, and we aim to provide that same sense of comfort and inspiration through our quarterly potlucks and workshops. Our efforts culminate each April with the Musketaquid Earth Month Exhibit and Earth Day celebrations, which serve as a focal point for our "Seeking the Spirit of This Place" initiative. Whether you are visiting us or looking for a budget-friendly Myrtle Beach escape, we invite you to engage with the spirit of discovery that defines our work.
