Nosey Neighbor: Deep Roots Art Exhibit

Deep Roots: Sustaining a Living Community

The latest gallery exhibit at the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center emphasizes the “why” of the farmers’ and producers’ chosen way of life, over the “what” and “how.” See the life and work of small farms in our rural area through the lens of Artist Jon Solinger.

Solinger has created art that celebrates farmers and producers who bring to their work an ethic of living well on the land by practicing environmental stewardship and building economic resilience. It looks into several essential relationships: between farmer and land, food producer and community, among farmers and within families.

The exhibit will consist of photographic portraits of the people, animals, and landscapes engaged in the work of sustainable farming and local food in our rural neighborhood. It will also include an oral history component: transcribed interviews with the subjects that build a rich context and reveal personal glimpses into the motives and thoughts of the people in this network of food producers.

Can’t make it to the tour? The Reception and Gallery are always free to see and open to all. The Reception will be held Friday, February 24 from 4-6pm.
