How to participate.
Step 1 — Get the Map
Download the Ashland template or pick one up at a partner location.
Step 2 — Create Your Map
Use the map however you’d like. Draw, collage, paint, stitch, annotate, or layer imagery that reflects your relationship to this place.
There’s no right way to do it. It doesn’t need to look polished. It just needs to feel true.
You can work alone, with friends, in classrooms, or join in through one of our community workshops.
Step 3 — Add Your Artist Statement
Include a brief artist statement (75–125 words) that gives us a window into your map — the memories, ideas, or experiences behind it.
Step 4 — Submit
Upload, email, or drop off your finished work.
