THE ART GARDEN

Lights and lanterns everywhere,

people on their porches ringing bells,

and the peals of church bells

made for a touching commemoration

in January 2021

for those our communities lost to COVID-19.
 

As part of an event 

organized by Jackie Walsh,
Marguerite Sheehan, and Laurie Wheeler,

The Art Garden’s Laura Iveson and

Jane Beatrice Wegscheider created an installation of lanterns on the Iron Bridge

in Shelburne Falls.

Ten local artists’ works were printed on translucent vellum to make the 104 lanterns remembering and honoring those who had died in our county.
