Walling In is deinstalled

Just finishing with some lovely last snow shots by Jeff Derose

And then it came down, always a bittersweet moment.

First we needed to get the sheep back into the fold.

Thanks to Nicki Robb, Jeff Derose, Keith McCormick, all of the students at Hartsbrook school, Margot Milliken, and Sarah Bliss for all their help.

Students from different universities who are interested in environmental art are welcome through a selected process to intern during the summer and school year. Many students get college credit and have been awarded grants for this opportunity. We welcome all majors. Past interns have been in environmental studies with minors in studio art, religion, architectural and landscape design, food systems, climate justice, art history, for example. Typically we will collaborate with a farm, making work in response to the landscape, people and animals surrounding us. All artistic disciplines are explored. Many times we are experimenting with materials to see what future projects can be realized, other times we are working on a specific project that needs to head out for an exhibition. The studio is dedicated to using art as a communicator of the environmental crisis we all face.
