2012 EARTH ARTS TOUR INCLUDES NW PASSAGE EXHIBIT in Frederic
The EarthArts Spring Tour has grown to be a local favorite event with local artists showcasing their work in their own studios or in small clusters. The tour will be May 5th and 6th, 10 AM - 5 PM each day. Tour maps will be distributed and be available on line at www.EarthArtswi.org about a month before the event.
This year, Frederic Arts will host a concurrent exhibit at the Frederic Art Center showcasing photographs from a project at NW Passage May 5th and 6th.
Beginning in April 2010, teenage boys at Northwest Passage, a residential treatment facility for at-risk youth based in Northwest Wisconsin, embarked on a photographic journey of discovery, hope, and healing on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. When the project began, most of them had rarely held cameras. With photographic equipment and instruction from In a New Light , the boys created stunning photographs that have inspired thousands. However, this project has turned out to be about more than great photos. The youth have embraced their role as storytellers, and in the process of capturing the character of the Riverway, they have also shared their own struggles, dreams, and quest for healing.
In 2011, In a New Light immersed at-risk teens in the beauty of five national parks: Yellowstone, Isle Royale, Rocky Mountains, Badlands, and St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. It also expanded to include the Northwest Passage girls treatment program. The young artists are being empowered to share their inspiring emotional journeys through documentary films, book, the web, and art exhibitions. Ultimately, In a New Light is showing in dramatic fashion the power of nature and art to facilitate life-changing experience not just among at-risk youth, but for all of us.
In a New Light is a partnership between Northwest Passage and the National Park Service, and is funded by grants from the National Park Foundation and other local and national sponsors. Visit www.inanewlight.org to learn more.
