C.M. Judge - Drop a Grudge

Paula Rendino and C. M. Judge are currently offering free workshops for groups interested in participating in their community public art installation. This 45 min workshop offers participants the opportunity to reflect on grudges they may be holding; to choose to let one go and to tie a string around a stone representing their desire to drop their grudge. All the stones collected for the project will be gathered into a 14’ oval to form the central component of our installation “Drop The Last Stone” which will be exhibited at Rivier University Gallery in Nashua, NH, Jan 27 - April 28, 2025.

We recently launched our website: www.dropthelaststone.com.

Please contact C. M. (cmjudge@mac.com) if you know of a group that would like to participate. Thanks for spreading the word via our website!
