Something Truly Special Is Coming to Planting Fields! 🌳
Mark your calendars for Friday, September 19 — you won’t want to miss Creative Spirits: An Evening with Sam Van Aken, internationally acclaimed artist and visionary behind some of the most groundbreaking work at the intersection of art, agriculture, and environmental storytelling.
Van Aken has amazed the world with his TED Talk, featured work in National Geographic, and exhibitions at the Smithsonian, NY Botanical Garden, and more.
Now, he's bringing his genius to Planting Fields with "The Planting Fields Stand" — a living artwork of multi-grafted fruit trees that tells the layered, living history of this land.
🍸 Your ticket to this event includes a complimentary cider cocktail, the rare chance to hear from the artist himself during a live talk and Q&A, and exclusive access to Van Aken's indoor companion exhibition, featuring cyanotypes (sun prints) and herbarium specimens that provide deeper insight into his practice, expanding on the themes of ecology, art, and preservation.
This is not just an art event — it's a celebration of culture, sustainability, creativity, and Long Island’s agricultural heritage.
