SPRING 2022 LYCEUM SERIES: MAKING HOME

What does it mean to be home? Making a home is on ongoing process rather than a one-time choice, reflecting an active effort to sustain natural and human communities through the years. Our spring lecture series, centered on that process, features speakers ranging from a landscape painter whose artistic practice has both rooted him here and helped preserve the environment he loves, to a panel of people who grew up here, left for other places, and returned to re-make their homes and businesses.

Falls Brook by Kevin Raines

Landscape painter and avid fisherman Kevin Raines first began visiting the Adirondacks in 1976 and has lived in Wadhams since 2007. A long-time professor of art, he’s sketched and painted in the woods and mountains for decades and has exhibited and shown his work widely.

He’ll discuss his painting process, his collaborations with The Nature Conservancy, UNESCO, the Adirondack Council, The Eddy Foundation, and other organizations, and how his landscapes reflect his love of the outdoors and this place he’s made his home.
