Show Countdown

Down to Day 2, 11 more days until showtime, and it looks to be shaping up to be a beautiful weekend the 25th and 26th. Now, while planning your trip to Kane remember there is plenty to do after visiting Art in the Wilds.

There are restaurants right in town along the main road (RT. 6/North Fraley Street) as well as some others that are worth a visit, including the Flickerwood Wine Cellars out on Flickerwood Road.

Also, there will be food vendors in the park to keep you fed and hydrated while you're walking around in the summer heat. Remember, all this information will be available to you in our hospitality tent near the central pavilion!


Since we covered last year's award winners, let's take a look at some of our new artists.

Mimi Antonetti, originally from New Jersey who now calls Pittsburgh home, creates some amazingly powerful jewelry out of metal. Her website Nautilus Creations shows off some of the work you'll find at this year's show. Each piece is painstakingly created one link at a time into a bit of decorative armor you can wear every day!

This year we are happy to have some new potters joining us at Art in the Wilds. Karen McKee will be in one of our tents filling that space with her wonderfully crafted and colorful pottery. Many pieces incorporate hand-painted or stenciled designs of birds, bees, and flowers. Since they are also glazed to make them food safe, you can have a new favorite mug decorated with the joys of nature to add to your daily routine!

Another new potter joining us is Krysta Robinson. Formerly a High School teacher of ceramics and graphic design, she eventually decided to focus on her art full-time. Clay is her favorite medium and she uses it to make items ranging from sleek fine art to playful and quirky items that would make a great conversation starter in your home or office.
