SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 11 AM

Last August, CEED and Inspiration Plus presented the first SCULPTURE on the TRAIL … an Art & Nature Exhibition in Brookhaven Hamlet.  The event was very well attended and the experience was so positive for the sculptors and poets who volunteered their work, that this year’s repeat will be even larger, with more than 20 sculptors and 20 poets joining their talents on Saturday, August 19th, 2023, from 11 AM to 3 PM.  At 3 PM, there will be an open reception with the artists, with music by Natural Causes.
