Celebrate the completion of the Del Rio Trail permanent artworks with an opportunity to meet and hear these well-regarded Phase 2 artists https://www.delriotrailart.org/phase-2-artists selected from Northern California and across the country! They will share their stories, inspiration, and intentions and show the amazing outcome of each commission included in their presentations.
Seven Phase 2 artists and artist teams, hailing from across the country, were selected from over 100 artists! These artists met with community members and researched the region, which led to creating artworks inspired by themes such as community, home, cultural identity, local history, nature, wildlife, and ecology. The artists used durable materials like steel, wood, bronze, and stone to create whimsical, imaginative, playful, and thought-provoking artworks.
Phase 2 Artists:
