The Landscape We Live: Opening Reception
May 30 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Show opens Friday May 30 5 – 7 pm with a reception and closes July 6. After the opening reception, Gallery hours are 11 am to 3 pm weekends.
Celebrating the 30th anniversary and long anticipated renovations of the Arts Center, this exhibition pays tribute to Sandisfield—the topography, trees, totems, rocks, rivers, animals, and artists who call it home.
The reception begins with a toast to the donors who made our renovations possible, including the refurbished Gallery and the addition of climate-friendly air conditioning and other building improvements. The gallery will be christened The Garfield Family Gallery honoring the gift of the Estate of Leslie and Johanna Garfield. We’ll also recognize other donors including the Homestead Foundation, the Wyomissing Foundation, the Feigenbaum Foundation, and generous individuals.
The show has invited each artist to reflect on their personal correspondence with this specific landscape. Changing seasons shape the rhythm of daily life. The land itself silently bears witness to the lives of those who inhabit it. Nature is not merely a backdrop, it’s an active, living, breathing partner.
This show asks us all to consider not only the beauty of the land that surrounds us, but how it defines us, and ultimately becomes an extension of who we are.
