Designed and produced by artists Andy Graydon and Isabel Beavers, Accomplices is a series of six printed postcards that invite visitors themselves to perform small micro-compositions on each site in response to and collaboration with each of Nakaya’s sculptures. One card is available at each location of Nakaya’s sculptures, as well as at the Emerald Necklace Conservancy's Shattuck Visitor Center, and is designed specifically for that park site and sculpture.
Volunteer to help care for the roses. Training, tools and gloves supplied. Pre-registration required.

Finding themselves connected by a thread, they find their way, connection, and some kind of peace.
