Art on the Cochituate Rail Trail

I biked to work using the Cochituate Rail Trail (CRT) recently. It was a lovely day and on my way in, I was delighted to see two sculptures on the side of the trail. Of course I stopped to take a look at them; I looked around for signs about who the artists were and what project they were a part of — nothing yet. It was on the way home that I found information and many more sculptures!

This project by Studio Without Walls is called sum of its pARTS. Studio Without Walls is a Brookline-based collaborative group of sculptors and conceptual artists who produce exhibitions of art in outdoor and public settings. Since 1999, they have been educating audiences to appreciate, participate in, and become enriched by site-responsive sculpture, installation, and conceptual art. Sponsored by Friends of Natick Trails and the Natick Center Cultural District, Studio Without Walls made its debut in Natick!

Walk or bike the CRT to see the sculptures between Chrysler Road and Superior Drive in Natick, or park close by, hop on the path and check them out. The sculptures are on view September 9 – October 15, 2023.
