A beautiful Saturday morning dawned in the Historic Stockade of Schenectady, filling its streets with vibrant energy. Vendors stretched along N. Church Street, welcoming visitors to the Stockade Art and Nature Garden Tour, a special biennial event organized by the Stockade Association. This year’s tour promised something truly extraordinary.
Indeed, the tour delivered, featuring stunning gardens that served as galleries for incredible art from the Living Resources Art Program. Attendees were captivated by the diverse array of pieces, from serene landscapes and colorful floral designs to celestial themes and detailed pencil portraits. Many of the artists whose work graced the gardens were present, as were other participants from the Living Resources Art Program, all reveling in a shared celebration of creativity and camaraderie.
It was a day that beautifully underscored the themes of integration, inclusivity, and the profound healing power of art and nature. Community members and program participants came together, united by the freeing spirit of nature and art, and the blissful harmony found where the two intersect.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Stockade Association for their vision and support in creating such a memorable event and for welcoming the artists of the Living Resources Art Program into this cherished community tradition. Their partnership made it possible to showcase the incredible talents of our artists in such a beautiful and inspiring setting, a true celebration of art, nature, and community spirit.
