Wild at Heart” May 14-July 30, 2022

Rachel Finn, always an explorer, her artworks are a reflection of her passion, curiosity, and exuberance for the natural world.  Her digital video of images provides a provocative and whimsical perspective through her unique decal lens.

TAHAWUS 10-year RETROSPECTIVE

 

JUNE 23-AUGUST 30, 2020
 Press articles:  Read about the Retrospective

(6/18/20, LCW, Aja Landolfi) "When a new business opens it doors, owners can hope they will remain open for years to come....A lot can happen in a decade, and taking a trip down memory lane can be a fun way to see how this business has grown."

(6/14/20, Tim Rowland, The Sun) "This year because of the coronavirus, the Tahawus Cultural Center in Au Sable Forks has been temporarily unable to open its doors to the public, so Rebecca Kelly and Craig Brashear have created a 10-year online retrospective of art, hisgtory and culture that have been featured through the years since its first Main Street Gallery presentation in 2011."

(6-23-20, Adirondack Almanack) "The First 10-Years Retrospective opens online June 26, and gives the community a means of looking back --a happy reminder of gatherings in celebration of creative achievement."
