October 15 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Experience a collaboration between art and nature as vast, fluid canvasses of color dance overhead in the wind at New England Botanic Garden. This trilogy of large-scale kinetic art by Colorado Springs-based creative arts and design studio Poetic Kinetics will transform spaces within the Garden into living tapestries sure to spark wonder and ignite the imagination. Led by Creative Director Patrick Shearn, Poetic Kinetics is world-renowned and has earned recognition for epic festival art installations, immersive public art, and fine art museum displays that inspire audiences and connect them with their environments through visually striking experiences. Flora in Flight will span 3,007 total square feet and come to life with 52,735 feet of colorful flowing fabric, and 3,793 linear feet of rope. The installations are unique pieces created for the Garden and will be part of Poetic Kinetics’ Skynet Art Series.
