The Route 3 Art Trail started out the brainchild of local artist Adele Sanborn. The vision is to support the local creative economy by building an arts corridor along Route 3 north of Concord. The tour serves to promote and support local artists, craftspeople and creative businesses. In 2025 the Concord Makerspace took over organization of the Route 3 Arts Trail as the closure of Twiggs Gallery took place. The Concord Makerspace is excited to be the new stewards of this exciting event.
