About Golob Art - Meet the Team!
We create art for community.
Golob Art has worked on community-led art projects since 2013, and, since 2017, it has worked in partnership with multiple communities in- and outside of Massachusetts. These partnerships have resulted in projects deeply involved in equity work. The pieces are created with extensive community engagement, from the technique and theme, to the designs.
Most recently, the studio completed a mural in Haverhill titled Miles to Go Before We Sleep. It was comprised of 46 brightly-painted panels, each with the image of a community member based off images submitted by their family members and friends, surrounded by an abstract iteration of the Haverhill skyline. This mural praises and shines a light on Haverhill’s varied immigrant and minority community members and families.
As is evident in these examples, Golob Art's mission is to continue to produce projects to address inequities in our communities.
