Northern Forest Canoe Trail
2002-2004
Art and Community Landscapes Grant: National Park Service, National Endowment for the Arts, LEF Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, VT Arts Council. With artist Ron Smith and poet Stephen Dignazio.
Three projects were created under this grant to focus attention on the emerging Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) and two towns on the Missisquoi River in northwestern VT. The stone canoe in Swanton VT was carved from local marble. It formed a gathering spot and marked a canoe portage at the site of a former marble mill and ancient Wabanaki fishing site. Upstream from the stone canoe, an unmarked dam was highlighted by artist designed, rotating dam warnings, guiding paddlers to the portage.
Richford, VT was invited to create a community self-portrait with 100 cameras and notebooks provided by the artists. Over 1000 photos created an archive for the Historical Society, became the basis for an exhibition and led to 6 postcards featuring the town’s position on the NFCT.
