New this year. Snow Farm, The New England Craft Program, is launching a free initiative to introduce young artists in Massachusetts to the craft school experience - learning traditional and contemporary craft in an immersive residential setting. The Craft Summit will feature workshops in glassblowing, flameworking, ceramics, metalsmithing, fiber arts, and painting/drawing.

The weekend is open to forty-eight 10th grade students who go to high school in Massachusetts.

Each high school in Massachusetts is invited to send one 10th grade students at no cost to the school. Only 48 spots are available and students will be accepted in the order they enroll. Registration is at www.snowfarm.org until October 15 or until the program is full.

Natural Burlington Art Contest!

Did you know that right here in Burlington where you go to school, there are over 250 Acres of Conservation Areas? Conservation Areas and Public Parks are important – not only do they provide safe, peaceful, natural places for hiking, walking, biking, and enjoying nature they also protect the natural habitats of many insects, wild animals, trees and plants. Many of the conservation areas also have wetlands. Some of the types of wetlands in Burlington are streams, rivers, brooks, creeks, ponds, lakes, swamps, vernal pools, and marshes. Wetlands are very important, they help prevent flooding, they provided a natural habitat for wildlife and they help make sure we have clean water to drink!

The Conservation Department and the Conservation Commissioners make sure these areas stay protected and want to keep them clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Since these areas are so special, there are rule for visiting them. The rules are there so that the wetlands can stay clean and protected, and the wildlife, trees and plants can be safe and enjoyed for many years.

The Conservation Commissioners want everyone to learn to about nature, wetlands & conservation areas so they are hosting an art and photography contest to get people interested in visiting the areas, enjoying them and protecting them! Here’s where you can learn about the conservation areas in Burlington, where they are, and what the rules are for visiting them: http://www.burlington.org/community_development/conservation_areas.php

Want to participate in the Natural Burlington Art & Photography Contest?
Everyone who participates will have their artwork or photography featured at the 2018 Natural Burlington Photography & Art Exhibit at Grand View Farm on November 6th from 6-9pm.
There are three ways you can participate:
  1. POSTER: Make a small (no larger than 11x14) poster about Protecting Conservation Areas. The poster can either list the conservation areas rules or focus on just one (example: No Littering), or it could simply explain why they are important. Use words, drawings, colors, any artistic medium is acceptable.  Be creative and have fun. You can make the poster on your own or with up to 3 other friends.
  2. ORIGINAL ARTWORK: Draw, paint, color, sketch a landscape, autumn foliage, trees, wildlife or anything you see or may find in a Burlington Conservation Area. (example: A painting of a wetland, colored pencil sketch of a tree, or drawing of a squirrel or other wildlife you would find here is acceptable, a painting of mountains or sketch of your pet – would not be accepted. We love mountains and pets too, but this contest is really focusing on wildlife and nature in Burlington)
  3. PHOTOGRAPHY: Anyone aged 8+ can participate in the photo contest. The specific rules and entry requirements are found on our website: http://burlington.photos
Posters & Original Artwork must be submitted no later than November 1st and must contain (written on the back or on an attached sheet of paper) the following information:
