Featured speaker
Edie Clark[K4]
Edie Clark, nationally known writer and contributing editor for Yankee magazine, will give the keynote address. Her talk focuses on why the Monadnock Region has been and continues to be fertile ground for so many talented artists. She will highlight the rich history of artists in the local area as well as talk about the current art scene.
Event overview
This year’s annual celebration looks through the eyes of artists for a new outlook on the places we treasure. Eleven nationally and locally recognized artists of the Monadnock Region are featured in this exhibition of original paintings. Each of the participating artists has chosen a location on Conservancy-protected land as a place to inspire his or her work, which is being created this summer just for this art show. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Featured speaker and remarks by the Conservancy’s executive director between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., followed by a light lunch buffet and art show. Optional field trips to protected or soon-to be protected lands in Walpole depart at 12:30 p.m. (most trips last about two hours). All events are free and open to the public.
