Fall 2022
The 2022 Ephemeral Art Program focused on the Sperryville Trail Network. A special thanks goes to the landowners upon whose property the exhibits resided. A special thanks also goes to the two co-sponsors who joined RAAC in managing the program: the Sperryville Community Alliance (SCA) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP).

Featured artists and exhibits in 2022 included:

• Patricia Brennan’s and Jen Cable’s Peace of Mine, a cone-shaped structure made of bamboo, willow, and pine splits, large enough for two people to sit inside with two entryways that allowed openness for river sounds and air flow.
• Donna Marquisee’s Orbesque Concatenation, a mobile of linked vine wreaths and a few vine balls in a tree with open branching.
• Janet Kerig’s Ephemeral Gateway, which was constructed with local honeysuckle and cattail leaves woven into an “ephemeral gateway.”

Spring 2023
The 2023 Ephemeral Art Program focused on the Rappahannock County Park. A special thanks goes to the two co-sponsors who joined RAAC in managing the program: the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority (RCRFA) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP).

Featured artists and exhibits in 2023 included:

• Barbara Sharp’s Domum Apes (A Home for Bees), a bee skep made with local grasses and woven together with cane.
• Regina Yurkonis’ Confluence, a wool “waterway” flowing from and through natural and human-made features connecting the land and its elements to our water and us.
• Dabney Kirchman’s Nature’s Eye, concentric circles of colored river rocks surrounding a central “eye.”
