In 2017 ArtEast self-financed a fiberglas turtle project that would be placed on Pawling’s Village Green. Artea has become an attraction with people frequently taking selfies with her. She has also traveled to environmental events with local non-profits including the Friends of the Great Swamp, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and Great Hollow.
MANY THANKS
The Ammaturo family, Dutchess Auto Body, donated the finishing coat for Artea to keep the paint fresh and bright. Greg Chadwick constructed and donated the base for Artea.
