Wild Pink
2024-09-12 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-13 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-14 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-17 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-18 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Festival Gallery at Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street,, Waitsfield, 05673
WILD PINK is a group show about the natural and cultural relationship of the ancient color PINK. There is certainly no dearth of pink in the natural world or in human culture. We accessorize, cosmeticize, gender-ize and interiorize to the point of being ‘tickled pink’. In the animal and floral world pink as hue and shade exists multifold. Whether to shock, protest or code the millennials, pink has survived the test of time. This show examines the fluid origins of PINK in ‘natural’ and/or ‘cultural’ contexts. This is open media, interdisciplinary, multimedia, installation, all contemporary crafts and design arts in two/three dimensions for the wall and floor.
Reception & Artist talks: Sept. 26th, 5-7pm

The Mad River Valley is extremely fortunate to have access to one of the most incredible backcountry recreation opportunities in Vermont – the Phen Basin. As a chapter of the Catamount Trail Association, MRVBC has committed to the care and management of access to this resource by adopting section 19S from the Battleground condominiums north to the Long Trail in Huntington Gap. This commitment includes organizing an annual Fall Trail Work day where volunteers have an opportunity to help ensure continued access by working to maintain the trail and its features.
With several bridges, a consistent slope, unique natural features, and beautiful views, this section provides excellent access for non-motorized wintertime use. Come explore the trail while helping to keep it in good shape. In addition to the work, there is always a lot of laughs, good stories, and some pre-skiing stoke with parking-lot libations. This year work will focus on sight line clearing, blazing, water bars, and lopper work higher up the trail. If this is of interest – please bring your best yard-sale, animal encounter, or dawn patrol story and join us! See website link for more info and to contact our Trail Chief, Alan Hammersmith.

Also, please consider these other Catamount Trail Association trail work days!
