About
Overview
View Arts Center in Old Forge, NY seeks works of art in all media exploring the theme of Tracks relating to animal tracks, people tracks, industrial tracks, and what is left behind. Tracks & Trails: Marks Left Behind investigates the stories written upon the land, whether that be footprints, pathways, skiing, snowshoeing, ski-mobiling, or industrial tracks: railroads, bridges, and winter logging. These subtle remnants reveal what has passed through, lingered behind, and become part of the landscape's memory.
