Applications Close April 15th
Art on the Trails is a juried outdoor exhibition featuring temporary, site-responsive artworks installed along wooded trails and natural spaces. Artworks are encountered by visitors as they move through the landscape, creating a layered experience of art, place, and time. This year’s exhibition will be juried by NESA member, Lisa Barthelson
This year’s theme considers the land as an active witness to change and memory. Artists are encouraged to respond poetically and contemplatively to questions such as:
How does the land remember?
What histories are embedded in soil, stone, trees, and water?
How do seasons, climate, and natural cycles shape place over time?
What traces do people leave behind as they move through the landscape?
Works may interpret the theme literally or abstractly and should engage thoughtfully with the surrounding environment.
