Create art from the natural environment





Naturalist Lynnae Fischbach will present Earthworks at Sugarloaf Cove Nature Center at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 25. Lynnae will discuss the history of the Earthworks movement.

What is Earthworks? It is the idea that art does not have to be permanent. At the event participants will create sitespecific art using only the materials present. Change through process and decay are common to all living things. Theenvironment can be explored and known on a nonverbal level that can leave lasting impressions on the artist (but perhaps less on the natural canvas).

The free program takes place at Sugarloaf Cove, located lakeside off Highway 61 at mile 73.3.
