Opening Reception: Celebrating Beebe Woods through the Arts

Friday, September 28, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Meet the exhibition’s artists and poets as we celebrate Highfield’s two Beebe Woods inspired exhibitions – The Intimate Woods and The Trail that Leads to Our Door.  An opportunity to meet the artists, lively music, a complementary hand-made poetry booklet and a poetry reading will also be featured. Donations appreciated, no pre-registration required.

 

The Intimate Woods on display from Wednesday, September 19 to Friday, November 16

 

Inspired by the flora, fauna and intimate details of the woodlands, this companion exhibit to Beebe Woods: The Trail Leads to Our Door features the work of ten regional fiber artists including Salley Mavor, Helen Koehler, Joyce Shutter and friends. These artists’ creative interpretations of the natural world are enlivened by a wide range of media: from hand made papers, felting, beadwork and collage to various forms of fine needlework. This exhibition serves as a reminder that our observations of nature are ever expansive and the rare and delicate lady’s slippers barely noticed at our feet can offer as grand an experience as the stately beech trees that have reigned over Beebe Woods for decades.
