Save the date for Community Day #8!
We are excited to invite you to join us for our spring Community Day, featuring:
11:30 am - 12:30 pm: An exploration of Surf Point’s coastal property, led by Liz Walworth, Stewardship Director of York Land Trust, which oversees Surf Point’s conservation easement. Liz will discuss the unique landscape of Surf Point, the conservation of the land, and the challenges of climate change.
11 am - 3 pm: A collaborative artmaking workshop led by alum Meghan Brady ‘20. In this hands-on workshop, we will use a series of drawing prompts to forage for drawing tools and inspiration from the Surf Point landscape. Returning to the Beverly Hallam studio, we will translate our original drawings into larger-scaled components and then work collaboratively through collage and ink painting to make a wall-sized installation.
Participants can drop in and out of the workshop throughout the event. All ages and experience levels are welcome! In the meantime, check out Meghan’s work at Mrs. in Maspeth, NY, and Dunes in Portland, ME!
11 am - 3 pm: Self-guided tours of Wild Knoll Foundation Garden, a public art project by alum Carly Glovinski ‘21, inspired by writer May Sarton, and a short walk from the Surf Point building.
11 am - 3 pm: Pop Up Plant Sale! For a small donation, pick up some plant divisions from the Wild Knoll Foundation Garden. Proceeds will help support the coming growing season of this living work. A huge thank you to the Old York Garden Club volunteers for helping with garden cleanup and preparing plant divisions for this sale.
