WOODHENGE: A Community-Centered Public Art Project
Vicco von Voss has been awarded a $10,000 planning grant from the Maryland State Arts Council to develop Woodhenge, a new interactive public art installation at Adkins Arboretum in Caroline County, Maryland. Inspired by ancient henges such as Stonehenge, this unique project will transform six massive slabs into a cultural landmark, symbolizing resilience, transformation, and the natural cycles of life.
More than an artwork, Woodhenge is envisioned as a shared space for reflection, education, and connection.
PROJECT GOALS
Engage residents and visitors through community input and workshops
Finalize design plans incorporating public feedback
Lay the foundation for future funding and long-term sustainability
Adkins Arboretum, local and state arts councils, and other community partners will play key roles in this process.
