Visual Art Unveilings

Friday, June 27 @ 10AM
Meet at Green Box Farm Stand

Kick off the 17th Annual Green Box Arts Festival with us as we unveil four new artworks that will be on display throughout the summer, joining our existing collection of works across our campus.

Off The Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics

Off The Beaten Path, commissioned and designed by Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics, is the latest in Shearn’s Skynet Art Series.   Inspired by the graceful murmuration of birds flocking together, or schools of fish coalescing and moving simultaneously, these floating kinetic sculptures are a constant reminder of nature moving around us.  Each site-specific Skynet installation, like Off The Beaten Path, reveals unseen natural wind elements unique to that location.  Intentionally constructed from ultra-lightweight materials, the artwork is rigged inconspicuously to harness wind and activate the piece in a mesmerizing dance.  The result Is a peaceful and immersive experience for all who encounter it.

Sunset Over Gazebo Lake by Sarah Wright

Sarah Wright is a Colorado Springs-based abstract artist focusing on crisp lines and bold colors to express her works. “My work is heavily influenced by my environment: nature, music, people, and places. I translate those influences and inspirations into abstract works full of color and shapes which become segmented much like a stained-glass window. I grew up in Oklahoma and my first inclination that I was going to be an artist was being inspired by the “big sky” and its colors and dramatic scenes.”
