Art That Speaks: Rising Up Art Draws Crowds
As we reach the mid-point in the summer, and endure the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Art on the Trails has been a popular destination. In a time when most galleries are closed, an outdoor show is the closest many people can get to art this summer. We have seen record visitors, and now, poets are out visiting and writing work in response to the art.
This slide show provides a glimpse into the show.

Sarah Samways | Protect | Hand-stitched fabric | Not For Sale | My focus is on healing using the now instantaneously synonymous face mask. Because I recognize the shortage of these masks for those who really need them, I will be constructing my own out of cloth and string and will increase the scale of them to fit individual trees. In the end, I envision a thicket of trees covered in masks. In terms of the theme of ‘rising up,’ I believe that our humanity only truly thrives when we take care of each other, other animal species, and our environment.
