    Down to Earth: Artists create an exhibition that highlights the growing focus and emergence of “green” principles and sustainability in relationship to food, art, design and agriculture. Guest curator Amy Lipton, Co-Director of New York’s ecoartspace, selected six artists and artist teams who are working to create socially engaging interventions in the landscape related to food and agriculture, creating an aesthetic and cultural link between art and farming.

    Edible Landscape Festival: After the artists formally introduce their work, visitors will have the opportunity to meet the Edible Landscapes artists at this family friendly event! The Edible Landscape Festival will include an artists’ talk and tour, activities for all ages led by the artists, as well as hay rides, a composting station, a guided edible plants trail walk, and much more!
