Says Jack Martin, field trip leader, “”For me, shooting at ‘The Yard’ is about exploring the wonderful forms and colors that the artists create on a canvas of faded paint and rusty metal. A few of the buses are open so that you can, with care, see the effects of light through the painted windows.” RSVP/Sign up for more carpool and other specific trip information here.
