About Artist Walk with Jean Shin at Appleton Farms
Join us for an unforgettable experience with renowned artist Jean Shin and curator Jessica Hong at Appleton Farms. Delve into the intersection of art and ecology as Jean and Jessica lead an intimate talk followed by a guided hike to her Perch exhibition. Discover how Jean’s sculptural pieces, crafted from decommissioned split-rail fences, salvaged copper, and American chestnut branches, provide vital structures for bobolinks, a threatened species of migrating songbirds.
During the one-hour talk, Jean will share insights into her artistic process and the ecological significance of her work at Appleton Farms. Then, embark on a scenic hike to explore the exhibition site and engage with the art firsthand. This hike is suitable for all skill levels, featuring gently hilly terrain and lasting approximately one hour.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect with art, nature, and the artist behind it all. Be sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for hiking. While the program is geared towards adults, art lovers and learners of all ages are welcome to attend, provided they can engage with a one-hour artist lecture. Reserve your spot now for this inspiring event!
