I’m so thrilled to invite you to join me once again for Art on the Trails, a free outdoor art workshop & exhibition hosted by Growing In Process in collaboration with the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) and Middlebury Studio School, as part of the Vermont Craft Council's Spring Open Studio Weekend.
The Details:
Open House Saturday & Sunday May 24-25, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Workshop with Middlebury Studio School Saturday May 24, 12 p.m.
Exhibition walk with The Green Mountain Club Sunday May 25, 1:30 p.m.
Location: Wright Park TAM Trailhead in Middlebury, Vermont (Parking off of Seymour Street Extension)
You will have the opportunity to walk the trail as you would a museum, your exhibition guide in hand, and learn about the pigments and places that inspired the work as you walk. The most exciting part of this experience is to see how the environment impacts the way the work is experienced; the shifting light, the shifting sounds of the forest, and of course, the unpredictability of the weather, all add to the impact of the experience.
After your hike, join us at the trail-head studio pavilion for a free workshop led by me and the team at Middlebury Studio School. We'll be working with natural pigments—many of which were foraged right here along the trails in Vermont—to create expressive artwork inspired by the landscape.
This event is open to all ages, and no experience is needed. Whether you're a professional artist or just curious, you won't want to miss this unique experience combining art and the natural world.
The exhibition will take place rain or shine; workshop may be postponed in the case of heavy rain. Make sure you are sign up for my newsletter Earth & Easel to get Art on the Trails updates, sneak peeks of the new work I'll be showing, and behind-the-scenes stories from the pigment process.
I can't wait to gather again—under the leaves, among the colors, and in community. Hope to see you there!
