Art on the Farm will resume February 21 at Fairfax Fresh

 


The movie


Short history:
For about ten years, Alan Mart of the Internatural Harvesters organic farm has spearheaded this effort to bring artists and organic farms together. Now it is becoming an all volunteer effort. The artists involved are pushing the torch forward for a few more miles. This operation selects a day, often Sunday, and sends the group of artists to a particular farm. There the artist picks out images that are of interest and paints, draws, photographs, etches or whatever seems right at the moment, whatever image seems right. After a season or 2 there has been a benefit show where part of the proceeds from sales went to the Marin Organic loan fund, part to the artist, none to the group or Alan. The last such show was at Toby's Feed Barn during the Point Reyes Harvest Festival, a really great fit.
