Community Art Projects
TMA will host 4 major community art projects each year.
Help us share art with our community!
The 2021 line-up is:
What You’ve Got by Katie Ries
June 26, 2021 during Appleton’s Farm Market
8:00am – 12:30pm @ TMA
Katie Ries made one thousand clay seedballs with regionally-specific wildflower seeds that we will trade with Farm Market guests. Guests exchange a seedball for “what you’ve got” in your pocket!
How it works!
- Leave something in place of every seedball you take.
- Throw the seedball somewhere it will not be mowed or trampled.
- Return to that place often as you watch the wildflowers grow.
- Artist Katie Ries will create a piece of artwork with all of the objects traded.
Traded items, St. Norbert College, 2014
Orange Consumables – SGCI – Knoxville, TN, 2015
