Nature Day Takes Root at Ney...
...cont'd from page 1
artwork that reflects the vibrant relationship of art and nature in Austin, and incorporates the ideals of one of Austin's original naturalists Elisabet Ney. (Did you know that Ney had a lake for canoeing and swimming behind the current museum building? And that her home was completely xeriscaped?)
If you've never participated in an "art event" before, don't worry. All you need is a sense of adventure, and maybe a pair of gloves. Austin Green Art and the Elisabet Ney Museum will provide everything else. This is a wonderful opportunity for neighborhood groups such as:
- Scout Troops
- Boys and Girls Clubs
- Athletic Teams
- Book Clubs and Support Groups
- Church Youth groups
To learn more about how you can participate in our neighborhood's celebration of Austin Nature Day, please contact Austin Green Art Director Randy Jewart at 512. 743. 4245, email randy@austingreenart.org
