Trails and Vistas art hike will grace Spooner Lake on Saturday, September 17 and Sunday, September 18, 2011. The contest to create this year’s theme is open to all ages and the deadline is April 15, 2011.
“Trails and Vistas is a magical and transformative experience for the audience and participating artists. I invite all ages to embrace their individual creativity and connection to the natural world and submit a theme for this year’s art hike,” said Nancy Tieken Lopez, Trails and Vistas Artistic Director.
What do you want to experience during this year's art hike? Are you moved by the plight of projected park closures and open to somber music and movements expressing loss? Do you aspire to celebrate the rhythm of love, leaving the heavyhearted thoughts in the distance for an afternoon? Let your creative juices flow. The chosen theme will set the tone for the September 2011 art hike. Previous themes have included “If Dreams were Clouds,” “Songs of the Earth,” and “Wind over Stone.”

What is an art hike?
Audience members will hike in small groups pausing at performances and other artistic creations along a gentle guided two and a half mile hike. Trails and Vistas’ audience will experience art in nature with sculpture, music, dance and poetry in a completely new and inspiring way during the 2011 hike at Spooner Lake, a well-loved hiking, equestrian and mountain biking area in the Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park system (located near the intersection of State Route 28 and U.S. 50).
