It looks like the rain will let up by tomorrow afternoon. That’s good news for those of you who’d like to view Southborough’s newest art exhibit.
Tomorrow night is the Opening Reception for Art on the Trails, “Finding Solace in the Woods”.
The juried exhibit was installed over the weekend on trails in the Beals Preserve. On Wednesday, June 7, at 6:00 pm, Southborough Open Land Foundation is holding a celebration, which includes talks by the artists. The guided walk will include refreshments along the trail.
Poets planning to heed SOLF’s call for related poems won’t want to miss this opportunity. (And if you missed that news, click here for those details.)
But don’t sweat it if you can’t make the ceremony. It certainly won’t be your last chance to enjoy the exhibit. The art will remain on the trails through September 24th.
In fact, more art will hopefully be added – and it could be yours. While the juried exhibit deadline passed, beginning this Friday, SOLF is welcoming art contributions from the public – of all ages and talent. (There are some rules, especially since this is a “Leave No Trace” exhibit. Click here to learn more.)
Now, here are the details for tomorrow night’s reception:
