Trails & Vistas’ art hikes blend world-class artistic expression with a walk in the woods. Following the annual public art hikes in early September, local third grade students get to experience art in nature through Trails & Vistas field trips. Sunshine Tahoe run by Christina Stoever-Young, an avid supporter of arts, culture and the environment, has donated $10,000 to Trails & Vistas in honor of the 10th anniversary of the art hikes this September.
“The purpose of Trails & Vistas is to reestablish bonds between individuals and between individuals and nature. Putting art in this context changes the experience and the audience. We are so grateful for Sunshine Tahoe’s past and ongoing support,” says Nancy Tieken Lopez, Trails & Vistas founder and executive director. “Christina’s valuable contributions – both in expertise, her time and financial support – will undoubtedly culminate in the long term success and ongoing growth of Trails & Vistas.”
