WANTED-YOUR ENTRY for our 1st Franklin Area ART & WRITING SHOW
Young acorn on a cherished White oak, many of which populate the Franklin Area and are considered a keystone plant for wildlife.
Honor a neighborhood tree you love! Create a poem, drawing, sculpture, photograph, painting, or any other artistic work to celebrate some aspect of our cherished Franklin area trees.
We hope you are able to take advantage of this great opportunity to invite your children to observe the beauty of our trees, encouraging both their artistic expression and their love of nature. We also hope you will find this a perfect excuse to dust off your old paint brushes, dig out your old pottery wheel, wax poetic, and even make this a family event!
