Our Legacy of the Land Through Art project is a special way to celebrate the generosity of local private landowners who have protected their land in perpetuity. The project includes two major art exhibitions.

Legacy of the Land Through Art is a mixed media juried exhibition open to artists active in Washtenaw and Jackson Counties – areas where Legacy Land Conservancy has preserved properties. The selected artists represent an array of media, from oil, pastel, acrylic and photography. Jurors for the project are well known in the community for their expertise in art; they are Deborah Greer, Louise Lutton, Norma Penchansky-Glasser, and Joseph Trumpey.

The second exhibition takes place at Sandhill Crane Vineyards on 4724 Walz Road in Jackson, Michigan. It is open to the public from February 1, 2014 through March 9, 2014. The opening reception for this event is on Friday, Jan. 31, 2014 from 5:00 to 7:30 pm. The charge for this event is $35 per person, which can be treated as a tax-deductible contribution to Legacy Land Conservancy.

If you would like to attend this event email Susan Cooley at cooley@legacylandconservancy.org or call (734)302-5263.

Betty Kay Price’s “Hot Evening Tree” (picturedabove) and many other original art pieces created for the event are available for sale at our auction site.
