Cultivating Awareness of Sustainable Agriculture Through the Arts
Mission Projects Funding Contact
Currently, we are raising funds for a traveling educational exhibit, American Goat: A Photographic Journey Through America's Growing Goat Industry. Featuring photographs by Karl Schatz, educational wall texts, a collage of labels from goat products, and artifacts from all aspects of the goat industry, American Goat explores the changing role of goats in the American agricultural landscape. A multimedia exhibit, American Goat also includes, "Goat Love," a fifteen minute video of still photographs paired with a soundtrack of caprine enthusiasts sharing what they love about goats. The exhibit has received organizational support from the American Dairy Goat Association, and will begin traveling in June 2005. For more information, or to propose a venue, please visit www.americangoat.com or contact info@farmsinfocus.org.

Future projects include:

  • Farm Sabbaticals: A program designed to bring together farmers and artists. Artists apply for a farm sabbatical grant, while farmers apply for an artist-in-residence. Farms in Focus will match up qualifying artists and farmers and provide funding to both.
  • An annual juried art exhibition on agricultural themes that will be open to all visual mediums including but not limited to painting, photography, sculpture, textiles and illustration.
