Venues | Stone Wall Initiative

Cute-PiggyWVane — *Though no stone walls are pictured, here, they and the piggie fall into the same artistic category of folk art.*

Note: I’m only rarely giving talks these days and even fewer school visits. But all are still possible. I leave these descriptions because they reveal some of the history of the SWI in its early days before 2018, when I began to cut back on programs.

TYPICAL VENUES-FORMATS

Public lectures, typically evening talks on regularly scheduled monthly or annual meetings, or afternoon talks on the weekends. The expectation is anywhere upward of about 40 attendees. Typically the talks generate between about 40-200 attendees.
Book readings, usually in public libraries,
Interpretive hikes, usually to walk through a property with a group to learn more about its walls. Groups of about 20 are ideal, though he has run hikes for up to 150 people.
Classroom visits on school properties.
Workshops, usually for teachers or employees or organizations
School visits, usually with a public presentation to an entire grade (or two), followed by classroom visits complete with demonstrations.
