“A SLICE OF ART” IS THE FIRST ART PROGRAM IN THE HOPEWELL VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL’S NEW INITIATIVE, OUT OF THE ASHES: ART EMERGING FROM FALLEN TREES, THAT COMMEMORATES THE DEVASTATING LOSS OF THE ASH TREE, ONE OF THE PRIMARY NATIVE TREES IN HOPEWELL VALLEY. THIS SUMMER, WOOD SLICES, PLAYFULLY CALLED “SLICES OF ART,” were AVAILABLE FOR ARTISTS AND ARTISANS TO TAKE HOME AND ARTISTICALLY REIMAGINE. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO INSPIRE ARTISTS TO CREATE UNIQUE, NATURAL EXPRESSIONS OF ART ON AN ASH WOOD PALETTE.

As a result of the infestation of a beetle called the Emerald Ash Borer, the entire North American Fraxinus (Ash) genus of ash trees in the United States is threatened. Many ash trees, some infected and some yet to be infected, are being taken down to ensure public safety.

In the spirit of the HV Arts Council’s ongoing upcycling theme – making art out of trash and typically discarded items – Out of the Ashes will transform wood from this beautiful American tree into art through a diverse series of art programs, exhibits, and community events throughout 2018 and 2019.
