winter art in the park
Snowshoe artists Matt Robinson and Sheldon Benoit are on standby for the right conditions to create a new sustainable art piece on the Mill Creek Nature Park reservoir. Check back here for updates - we are aiming for the following dates: Feb. 1, 2, 8 or 9. You can see the past art pieces on our Winter Art in the Park webpage.
Update: The artists will be in Mill Creek Nature Park on Sunday, February 2 for 9 a.m.. It typically takes them 3-5 hours to make the design, depending on the complexity. The best place to view the design is at the lookout.
