The annual Art About Finn Slough show is an unjuried display of all kinds of art having a single topic: Finn Slough. It began because of an observation. Particularly on weekends with good weather Finn Slough is alive with all kinds of photographers, artists, sketchers: makers of art who come to appreciate and capture Finn Slough’s unique mix of history and nature, timelessness and specificity.
The show was started as a way for these disparate artists to see their own work in the context of all the other art about their shared subject. It is also a way for Finn Slough to give back, to host these makers of art in an appreciative and interactive way.
The community enjoys the multiplicity of views the artists bring; their differing representations of the same subject renew and energize our own appreciation of the place and go on to inspire other artists who see the work.
Presented by the Finn Slough Heritage and Wetland Society and sponsored by the Richmond Art Gallery.
