I think I will check this out this weekend. I’d like to talk to this crowd about entering artwork and what it takes to put something like this on in the park.
Id like to throw my own art show with 18-35 year old artists from different backgrounds and ethnicities. Also, a multicultural farmers market would be a great event to have in the park on the same day. Followed by live acoustic music from the folks who play at riverwalk cafe. As well as drum circles, and at night,  live DJ with a light setup. Is this something that can be pulled off in Nashua? I think I’m starting to put together a real sense of what this city needs just by talking to the people in it.

It needs more culture, and alternative entertainment rather than just clubs and bars for 18-35 year olds. This is needed to prevent brain drain. People with good ideas and creativity tend to leave Nashua. The city has a massive drain of young creative talent. The only people putting on or promoting anything in the city, typically, are over 40 or 50. A new influx of fresh creative ideas would really give the city new legs and with smarter Nd more creative young adults staying in Nashua, there could be more development. More growth in housing, more growth in entertainment, more growth in culture, and a better sense of community. So many people in Nashua have developed a “what can I take from the table?” Or “How can I benefit from this?”  mentality, instead of thinking about, “what can I bring to the table?” Or “How can I help the town I love to grow and prosper?” This has made far too many people cynical of any event in this town, causing them not to want to participate in town events, and shutting their ideas out, when we really need them to be active participants. There aren’t many leaders in the community for the 18-35 year old crowd because most of the people with the ability to lead, leave and go to Boston, or Manchester. I left and went to Dover NH. But now that I’m back in this area for a little while, I want to do what I can to make this city great.
