Together we will #createthemon.
Are you a forest inspired artist in any medium? We want all artists in and around the Monongahela National Forest to participate in an arts event for National Public Lands Day, September 23, 2023. We want to share art created in the Mon Forest on that day, inspired by our forest created anytime, or videos and photos of artists creating their art in the Mon Forest that day. This might mean setting up your easel by the Shaver’s Fork, reciting a poem under a stand of Mon Forest red spruce, or singing a song atop your favorite Mon Forest overlook. Artists may also share a piece of work inspired in some way by the forest that they've already created. On September 23, 2023, we are asking creators to tag WV Rivers and West Virginians for Public Lands in their posts showing their art, use the hashtag #createthemon, and submit their work or video/picture to be featured in a digital gallery and to share on WV Rivers and Public Lands social media.
Remember we are visiting the Mon Forest, and the forest is home to many animal and plant species - some that live only in the Mon. Please do not move, rearrange, damage, or destroy any part of the forest or any element found in the forest.
Fill out this form and we'll contact you!
