This program creates opportunities for creative growth and public exposure for local artists, and encourages artistic exploration of the Palisades region. In all that we do, we aim to nurture a love, understanding, and respect for the natural world. “The overwhelming and fantastic response to AiP seems to me proof that a program such as this was just waiting to come into the world so that the talented artists in our region could have a chance to partner with the Park system to conserve and protect the beautiful land in our region.” writes Erica Nagel, AiP co-Founder. “This is a group at the cusp of doing amazing things for both artists and the parks they love. These guys are sharp, dedicated, and talented” writes Timothy Englert AiP Liaison.
