August Art Show to Benefit New Pond Farm
August 27th - 31st, 2007

Ruth Newquist

New Pond Farm’s Flora and Fauna will be the Featured Subjects of our First Art Show August 27th-31st. Over the past several weeks 50 local artists have been visiting the farm with their easels, paints and cameras as they prepare for our first Invitational Art Show. Yellow barns, grazing cows, wooly sheep are emerging on canvases before our very eyes. This show is being spearheaded by talented Redding artist, and longtime NPF member, Kris Holm. Last year Kris was invited to be our first Artist in Residence. Since then she has delighted us with her fantastic paintings including “Bonnie” one of our Romney ewes which hangs proudly above the fireplace in our Common Room. Kris’s love of the property, the farm animals, and her dedication to the education center have inspired her to share them with fellow artists. At this year’s Harvest Dinner on August 25th Kris will showcase a selection of the artists’ work. The full selection of the paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs will then be on display in the Learning Center during the week of August 27-31. Viewing hours will be between 1-5 p.m. each day, on Thursday the 30th hours will extend until 8 p.m. So please bring your friends and families for this special showing and sale, and please call to let us know when you will be coming.
