The ArtBeat festival, presented by Somerville Arts Council, is normally scheduled as a one-day event that attracts some 10,000 people, runs this year from Friday, July 10 to Saturday, July 18 and features a mix of virtual performances and real life installations around Somerville.

This year’s theme is “Chance” – and if you walk around the city during this event you may chance upon many thought provoking works of art installed in various locations. Shown here are a few examples of works of art placed throughout the city.
