Art at the ARC

Art has long been an integral part of the Agroforestry Resource Center. Former Natural Resources Leader Marilyn Wyman, in collaboration with CCE supporter and acclaimed pastel artist Stanley Maltzman, initiated a tradition of bringing both established and emerging artists to exhibit their work in our 1,000 sq. ft. event space. We are proud to continue this legacy, providing a platform for local and rising artists to share their creations with the public.
