Earth Day Fresh Air Walk at theNate 

A favorite tradition at theNate is our annual Earth Day Tour and this year, it will begin with visiting artist Denise Milan’s two sculptures: “Earth, the Blue Stone” and “The Circle of Gold, Destruction and Renewal” that point us to considerations of our planet.

The familiar traditional tour of the collection will provide an engaging experience with many of the monumental artworks that remind us about our relationship to the Earth: land art favorites “Bodark Arc”, by Martin Puryear, and “Field Rotation”, by Mary Miss use the land itself to make their impact; “Stargazing with Contrails”, by Terrence Karpowicz references the night sky and finding our way; “Icarus”, by Charles Ginnever uses classical references in a modern way to take flight in our imaginations.

Rain or Shine – we are a hardy people, wear shoes for walking on grass paths, and layers for the weather. In the case of inclement weather, an indoor presentation will be at the ready.
