DABL ART MARKET

New this year, Farley Center will host Dane Arts Buy Local Art Market on Sept. 9. A variety of artists (including 9 of our Earth Connection artists) will set up booths to display and sell their art. It will be a fun arts festival including music and food! Bring the whole family to for this outdoor celebration. (Artists will be able to accept cash or check) Learn more about DABL and the Pop-Up Market

 


This is the sixth year 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.

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
