TLC Hosts Online Art of the Land Art Show and Fundraiser

The Land Conservancy of McHenry County (TLC) is hosting the 12th annual Art of the Land art show and fundraiser online now through Nov. 14. View the online show at www.ArtoftheLand.org.

Art of the Land is a showcase of artwork that features the beauty of the McHenry County landscape. The show includes artwork for sale from local artists, artisan items for purchase, custom poetry by the Woodstock-based poetry collective Atrocious Poets, an art quilt raffle, videos and stories of the land, and more. Participants can purchase a “virtual admission ticket” for $20 to support TLC.

TLC is also selling raffle tickets for a fine art quilt designed by local artist Barbara Schneider. Tickets are $20 each and only 100 will be sold.

In addition to the fine art show, the event features photos taken by amateur photographers at many of the properties TLC has preserved. People can vote on a “People’s Choice” photograph daily throughout the event on TLC’s Facebook page.

Art of the Land is TLC’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and 30 percent of all sales from the event support land preservation in McHenry County.

TLC would like to thank its sponsors: Mackie Consultants and Christopher Burke, Mark Mitchell State Farm, Davey Tree Company, Baxter & Woodman Natural Resources, D’Andrea Banquets, Vanderstappen Land Surveying, The Harvard State Bank, Pioneer Tree Farm, Bluestem Ecological, Red Buffalo Nursery, and the Northwest Herald.

The Land Conservancy of McHenry County is a member-based private nonprofit dedicated to preserving natural, scenic and agricultural land.
