MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Art Center invites the public to join their current art and community project, Locus.
The project’s focus in May is revitalizing the EcoArts Sculpture Walk at Trailside Park in Middletown which will open June 1.
To this end, MAC artists are leading workshops to complete and install work at the park and Lake County Public Services Department has redefined and chipped trails.
Marcus Maria Jung has been working with a team of community members this past week in the park on his sculpture “Resurrection” made of giant oak trees that burned and fell in the park.
On Sunday May 12, Layna Joy will lead a mixed media workshop for “Eclipsopy,” a collaboratively made canopy shade structure to assist regrowth, and provide critters and humans respite from the sun.
Participants are invited to bring fibers, fabrics, loose weaves, cordage, trinkets and beads to create a personalized hoop module to contribute to the canopy.
The workshop will take place at MAC from 1 to 5 p.m.
On Sunday, May 19, Sherry Harris will lead the completion and installation of “New Growth,” a sculpture from woven from mulberry branches. This workshop will take place in the park and participants will learn Harris’ giant basketry technique.
