Art on the Trails Installations Begin!

Today started the installation process for Art on the Trails 2017. This morning, Linda Hoffman and her farming assistant Kevin Smith came to install Tree Harp. After watching the sun and figuring how much light would shine on the beautiful gilded surface, Linda and Kevin placed a large stone, more small smooth river stones and finally the sculpture.

A few hours later, I returned to meet up with Lisa Barthelson, whose sculpture frenzied, resting, would be installed. We had excellent help from Cole, a farm hand from Chestnut Hill Farm, and SOLF member Attila Herczeg, who together hoisted the 75 pound sculpture into the tree where is will reside for the summer.

Tomorrow and Saturday will continue to be busy at Beals Preserve, where several artist will be building their installations in the woods.

Visitors are welcome during the installation process.
