Butternut Valley Alliance is hosting its first watershed-wide arts festival called “On the Trail of Art”. Over 100 students and their art teachers from Gilbertsville-Mount Upton and Morris Central schools and will join professional artists to exhibit their work in the Texas Schoolhouse State Forest. The end result will be a museum-quality art show with student artists viewed alongside professional artists.
Various artist demonstrations also will engage the community who visit this two-day “gallery in the forest” event. The exhibits will be mounted along the newly developed trail that recently received trail improvements along with interpretive signs, trail markers and path enhancements.
Co-sponsors for the festival are the Town of New Lisbon, Golden Artist Colors, Otsego County Conservation Association and the Butternut Valley Arts and Craft Center along with the BVA.
Taking place entirely outdoors, this event will be COVID-friendly as social distancing will be maintained. Hand sanitizer and masks will be provided for all. Food will be available for purchase and country music will enhance the festive atmosphere. Parking will be easily accessible on Lena Road. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months.
