Farley Center Land Art Exhibit Walking Tour -Peace Songs 2025

Sept 13 – 1:00-2:00

Farley Center Land Art Exhibit
Peace Songs 2025 (August 9 – October 31 – maps in the Farley Center kiosk)
2299 Spring Rose Road
Verona. Wi

Come join us at 1:00 PM on Sat, Sept 13 for the Farley Center Land Art tour during the Dane Arts/Farley Center/Visit Verona Art Festival (10:00-5:00). https://www.facebook.com/events/714939224673340

All participating artists will gather with visitors at the Farley Center kiosk at 1:00.

After a brief introduction, each artist will then take a small group to their own installation.

Artists will remain at their art installation from 1:00–2:00 PM to welcome visitors, talk about their work, and answer questions. Visitors will each have a map and will be free to explore at their own pace, choosing which installations to visit and in what order. This should help scatter visitors throughout the Sanctuary and avoid large crowds in one spot.

Support along the paths:

Caroline and Shedd Farley, along with Natural Path Sanctuary board members Brenda Emerson and Jayne Squirrell, will be stationed at key locations in the woods to help direct visitors and answer questions.

This is the seventh year (every other year since 2013) that area artists will create installations in the woods of the Natural Path Sanctuary on the Farley Center land. These artists are rising to the challenge of using only materials that can safely decompose back into the land. Thank you to Dane Arts and Visit Verona for your support of our artists, land art exhibit and Art Festival.

Thank you to all the Farley Center Land Artists:

What is Land Art

Land art, also known as Earth art, and environmental art is created by artists who use the materials of the Earth including for instance, the soil, rocks, branches, trees, vegetation, water and other natural, non-toxic materials. The Farley Center supports these types of installations on our land to highlight the beauty, value and necessity to think about how we view and use the land. Our artists help raise the discussion of what is toxic and what do we mean by the word “decompose.” What has to change in the way we work in order to sustain the Earth and all of us that live on it in healthy ways
