Exploring the Battenkill by Stephan Lack
EXPLORING THE BATTENKILL. an original oil on paper was created especially for the event by internationally collected Canadian born artist, Stephen Lack. As a board member, Stephen is dedicated to the mission of Battenkill Conservancy and has generously created and offered an original piece for each of the three prior Battenkill Runs Through It Festivals. His works have helped raise over $2,500 for programs to help preserve and enhance the Battenkill watershed. If you are an art collector, enjoy the vibrant colors and simple innocence reflected in this piece and perhaps work for a company that has a matching gift program, we invite you to add your name to the Battenkill Bidding Board sheet and perhaps leave the festival with this gem inspired by the river itself!
