Presented off-site in verdant gardens and intimate cottage spaces, the exhibition features sculpture, painting, ceramic, textile, video, and sound works that celebrate slow, curious relationships with the land and with each other. This third annual group exhibition for the summer solstice calls attention to acts of personal and collective reorientation and recovery, with artworks and public programs that position yearning and abstract storytelling as critical compasses for belonging.

Featured artists include Aleyah Austin, Stephanie Barlow, Kim Beck, Ellery Diaz, Meris Drew, Lalana Fedorschak, Dana Lynn Harper, Stuart Hyatt, Maura Jasper, Rebekah Nolan, Grace Seibert, Max Trumpower, and Seneca Weintraut. Contributing land-based practitioners include Kevin Allison, Danicia Monét Malone, James R. McKenna, Chris Merritt, and Shamira.

Opening night marks the eve of the first astronomical day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. At 7:00pm, we'll gather outside the cottage for a ceremonial flag-raising with artist Kim Beck and an accompanying composition by Stuart Hyatt. Enjoy golden hour views of the property. Stay late and join us in the meadow for the lightning bug firework show. The solstice occurs at 4:24 a.m. Sunday, June 21st.
