Earth and Sky, Woods and Fields, Lakes and Rivers, the Mountain and the Sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

AHArts in collaboration with Wild About Atlantic Highlands presents “Earth, Sea, & Sky” in celebration of Earth Month.  This exhibit is about Nature’s capacity to reveal, teach, and sustain, showing us the majesty, the overlooked, and the simple truths.
