As the days lengthen, the Spirit of the Wilderness (SOTW) art show is drawing near. “I have heard some questions about whether it would take place this year”, said Ellen Stubbs, a member of the SOTW art committee. The answer is an emphatic yes. “We are looking forward to participation from many artists, so if you have been waiting to start, wait no longer.”
Sense of Wonder: Expressing This Place invites participants to consider how the landscape, light, atmosphere, seasons and community of the North Shore have shaped them as artists. Interpretation is, of course, an individual choice, and the variety of expression is always fascinating to experience.
Art work will be accepted at Johnson Heritage Post on March 1-2 between noon and 4 p.m. The opening will be at 5 p.m. March 4, with appetizers followed by a discussion.
Author Chel Anderson will be speaking at the show opening. Stubbs said, “We are delighted to have Chel Anderson. She is an extraordinary interpreter of the natural history of the North Shore, with a gift for simplifying its complexities. Chel demystifies the science while expressing a sense of wonder—a perfect match for this show.”
There’s still time to participate in this year’s show. Stubbs said, “So paint, draw, carve, sculpt, photograph, throw a pot, embroider, quilt, or just come and enjoy!”
The show will run from March 4 – 27, Thursday through Sunday.
