reception for Anne Diggory : Follow the Water - Art and Science of the Ausable River Watershed

About this event

Keene Arts, in coordination with Ausable Freshwater Center (AFC), presents an exhibit that brings together the art and science of the Ausable River watershed from multiple perspectives.  “Follow the Water” combines a major exhibit of Anne Diggory’s paintings from the past four decades with a close look at one location on the river from the viewpoint of AFC freshwater scientists and a group of invited artists. The exhibition runs from July 3-27, with an opening reception July 3, 5-8. Anne Diggory will present a Gallery Talk July 19th at 1 pm and there is a closing reception July 27, 2-4pm.

With reference to maps of the area, Diggory’s work provides a dynamic experience of the vastness, variety and connectedness of the elements of the watershed that drains most of the High Peaks into Lake Champlain. As a result of the exhibition, the public will be able to see with fresh eyes as they follow the water in streams, lakes and river branches. The collaborative section of the show, devoted to the Ausable at Quarry Pool, showcases the many ways that professionals and artists perceive the river.  The invited artists are Rachel Finn, Tim Fortune, Joy Muller-McCoola, Kevin Raines and James Prosek.  The gallery will provide links to Interviews with the artists by James McElhinney and to a video about the art and science at Quarry Pool, produced by Keene Arts.  A portion of sales of the artwork will support AFC in its mission.
