Sanctuary: Environmental Land Art at the Farley Center

, ,

The Farley Center presents an art exhibition at the Overture Center.

Artist reception on Friday, Sept. 28 from 6:00-8:00. Enjoy light refreshments and music by WYSO Madison Music Makers while exploring the exhibit and meeting many of the participating artists.

“Sanctuary: Environmental Land Art at the Farley Center” exhibit is a photographic tour of these art installations. It will be on display in the Playhouse Gallery at the Overture Center for the Arts September 7-October 28, 2018.

Using natural materials from the land, area artists were invited to be inspired, expand creative boundaries, play with mystery, initiate surprise, explore and celebrate our connection to the earth. The theme was “Sanctuary” which could be interpreted however the artists chose. Sixteen artists took on the challenge and created a variety of pieces on the outdoor grounds of the Natural Path Sanctuary at the Farley Center near Verona, WI the summer of 2017.
