| Event Description |
Mark the final day of Helena Westra’s installation Lying Fallow with an afternoon of creative celebration at the Athenaeum Art Center. Drop in anytime between 2 and 7 p.m. for this free, all-ages gathering.
Harvest the golden meadow grass from the installation and transform it into autumn treasures—wreaths, straw dolls, bundles, and other imaginative creations.
Take home a piece of the artwork, enjoy time with friends and neighbors, and embrace the spirit of the season.
Lying Fallow is a golden meadow brought indoors and an invitation to rest. In this installation of hand-gathered California grasses, artist Helena Westra creates a space shaped by slowness, reflection, and return. The title comes from the agricultural term “lying fallow,” used when a field is left unplanted for a season so the soil can restore its strength. For Westra, this idea becomes a metaphor for creative and personal renewal. |
