Charrette, Dec. 2019

We have many great ideas in hand, and now it’s time to turn them into images. On Weds., Dec. 4, we’ll host a daylong charrette to begin designing key elements of the Corridor. Key stakeholders will join us for the morning, to brainstorm and prioritize design ideas. The design team will be hard at work sketching in the afternoon, and we’ll put up draft designs and welcome people in to see them and weigh in during an Open House from 4-6. The charrette will be held at the Old Cheshire County Courthouse.

  • Drop-in session: Drop in during the afternoon session (12:30-3:30 PM) to see the design team at work and share reactions. (2nd floor chambers at the old courthouse)

  • Open house: Come by from 4-6 PM to see the draft sketches and designs and share your thoughts.

Pop-Up Arts & Culture Corridor, Oct. 2019

Photo Gallery

Giant checkers, roasting s’mores over an open campfire, open art studio…. not what you usually find in Railroad Square. A Pop-up Arts & Culture Corridor on Oct. 19 gave us a critical chance to demonstrate and experiment with some of the ideas we’ve heard for the permanent corridor in downtown Keene. Check out the photo gallery.
