Join Oak Spring Garden Foundation for Ridgeline, a flash art experience, Sunday, Oct. 2, from 6 – 8 p.m. on the Rokeby Farm airstrip at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation. This event brings together 500 school-aged participants and their families to create a magical community performance as drones film from above.
Ridgeline, hosted jointly by Oak Spring Garden Foundation and Piedmont Environmental Council, is ET Projects’ newest collaboration to bring community and creativity together through performance, experiential art and environmental awareness. With participants carrying LED-lit umbrellas showcasing images inspired by the endangered flora of eastern North America, the gathering becomes a dance of light, and from afar, a vibrant field of plants and flowers swelling and swaying with grace and joy against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunset. Beautiful umbrella canopies, designed by renowned artist Elizabeth Turk, become “pixels” that create dynamic patterns captured overhead by drones, allowing the individual movements to be seen collectively as one.
