Artist Shaun Leonardo, in collaboration with community members, leads a series of interactive activities throughout the day in You walk…, in honor of Juneteenth. Explore the full schedule of events below.
You walk… is an interactive installation by Brooklyn-based multi-disciplinary artist Shaun Leonardo. Translating his performance practice into a participatory installation, Leonardo offers a series of visual and textual prompts — drawing from themes present in exhibitions on view throughout the museum — to invite us to consider how we process and embody space, ideas, and connectivity.
Schedule:
12pm – 1pm: Check out Shaun Leonardo’s You walk… installation alongside the artist and curator. Enjoy light snacks and refreshments.
1pm – 2pm: Join in for an artist talk with Shaun Leonardo who introduces his performative artistic practice that recognizes our shared human values and relationships. Through textual prompts that he designed for his installation, he will consider with the audience: What does it mean to come back together after quarantine? How might we improve our interactions with each other? In what new ways are we realizing we are connected? And in honor of Juneteenth, the annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, Shaun will explore the idea of freedom and its physicality through the use of a new prompt — what is the experience of freedom even in the subtlest of acts?
2pm – 2:30pm, 2:30 – 3pm, 3:30 – 4:00pm: WordXWord has invited seven poets to create and perform responses to — and inside of — Leonardo’s You walk…, Melissa Cairns, Curtis Elfenbein, Evan Goodermote, Alex Hicks, Dianne Olsen, Grace Rossman, and Stan Spencer. Following the performances there will be an opportunity for visitors to craft their own responses. WordXWord encourages poets to accept a greater role in the cultural landscape.

Event Details
We’re thrilled that Paul de Jong will be performing on June 19 at 6:30pm in Bracewell Park (across from Uno Park).
Paul de Jong is a cellist-composer and resident of North Adams. In de Jong’s world, everything around him is a potential instrument: his mind-bogglingly vast collection of forgotten private press regional folk records, spoken-word oddities unearthed in discarded thrift store piles, and various everyday household utensils that we tend to take for granted. His practice also includes videos and prints, among other artistic collaborations.
We can’t wait to see what he has in store for Steeple City Sound!
Thank you to Mass Cultural Council Assets for Artists Zachary Hann and HannWriting Inc. for making this fantastic concert possible!

Wednesdays, 6:30pm at Windsor Lake (intersection of Kemp and Bradley Streets)
Join us for the original rock of the Matchstick Architects. The Matchstick Architects are a four-piece Indie Rock/Americana band forged un the heart of the northeast. Their original music is infused with rock, country, folk, and Americana stylings. The band is fronted by the soulful voice of Dar Maloney and is rounded out by Tom Conklin on lead guitar, DiDi Davis on Bass, and Dennis Cotton, the bands newest member, on drums. Dennis has recorded more than 40 albums, toured with legendary British blues band Savoy Brown for the better part of a decade, and has played with countless top artists including J. Geils, John Sebastian, Levon Helm, and many others. The bands current single, ‘Despicable You’ is the first from its yet to be titled second album. You can expect to hear music from the band’s first album, new songs, and lots of songs you already know from classic artists such as Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lucinda Williams, Tom Petty, and more.
These concerts combine great music with the beautiful natural backdrop of Windsor Lake. Pack a picnic, bring a chair or blanket, and let the sweet sounds of music and water carry you away on a warm summer night. Restrooms available. Parking is free during these concerts, and swimming, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing are allowed at the lake. All cancellations will be called by 3PM on the day of the concert. Rain Dates tbd.
