Art on the Trails // Get Out on the Trail & Create, Sept. 5 - 13

Art on the Trails is a program that connects art and nature. In the past it has featured pop-up creative performances, such as hip-hop dance, ballet, spanish guitar and more, along the McLeod Creek Trail between Copper Moose Farm Stand and Temple Har Shalom in Park City. 

However, this year due to the impacts and concerns of COVID-19, it’s going to look a little different. For Art on the Trails 2020, we invite all community members to participate. Local creatives i.e. professional artists, emerging artists, kids, and crafty families are invited to create environmentally friendly artwork to place on McLeod Creek Trail. 

We are asking all participants to create environmentally conscious artworkand place it along the McLeod Creek Trail at their leisure between September 5th and the 13th. That means the artwork should be somehow upcycled, or created out of natural materials. Examples include flower garlands to hang from trees, totem poles made out of sticks or driftwood, leaf mandalas, bird houses made out of upcycled wood, painted rocks (using water based paint), rock sculptures, etc. All participants must wear a mask and practice social distancing when they come to place their artwork on the trail and view other’s work. 

Once people have filled the perimeter of the trail with artwork, it will transform the trail into an inspiring art walk for the community to enjoy. 

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form to register for the event.
