As part of our art4place activities, I helped make 'cairns' from collected sticks in Pecan Park. Children and adults wrote wishes, hopes and dreams onto leaf shapes and placed them in the cairns for the wish fairies :)
...rather a nice 'circle of fire'.
Open Studios:
I was one of the very few local artists not open to the public for various reasons, so I enjoyed a bit of time visiting some of the studios.
Kim Schoenberger demonstrating at Main Street Gallery, Montville:
..a busy weekend and it all happens again next weekend. All feedback has been very positive - lots of interest and sales and good promotion for the Arts on the range.
Well done, gang.
I hope to get to a few more of the 30 Open Studios next weekend.
c'est si loin...me ferait plaisir d'admirer les oeuvres sur place...
ReplyDeletemerci pour ce billet et de faire connaitre les artistes dans le vaste monde!
N- great photos of the Pecan Park cairns - and as another artist friend said, the burning of the cairn both emphasised the ephemeral nature of the work and released the wishes. Thanks for taking the shots of the amigos; and thanks for the promotion. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteDespite the torching, I'm sure the wish faeries had their work under control. I remember clearly a local park's faerie day many years ago, where faeries-in-training dressed in rainbow shades of rainbow tulle peeked in and out of the treeline. My daughters--both young adults now--recall this event vividly and fondly still. In the end, magic wins!
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend of 'show and tell'. Hope the weather improves for the next one.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness I love your energy and blog. There is so much to explore and it seems you are so very talented that you can do everything. I can see you have surrounded yourself with a wonderful art community....it must help so in the creativity department. I am a solo artist trying to find her way and your blog keeps "feeding" me. Thanks . Karin Lynn
