Art in Common Places was founded in 2020 by Cynthia Burnell, Leslie Butterfield and Teresa Carson. The nonprofit’s mission is to put art – in the form of boards that combine images and words – in public places such as laundromats, car washes, doctor’s offices and more. common places that people can enjoy in their daily lives. For each broadside, an artist is paired with a poet, and they spend six weeks collaborating on a piece based on a theme they choose together.
