The Keweenaw National Historical Park and Commissioned Artist Kasey Koski will soon unveil new artwork for the Quincy Dry House Ruins. Earlier in the earlier the national historical park commissioned Koski to develop an art installation along US-41 near the Quincy Dry House Ruins, to highlight the historic site and draw travelers to explore the Quincy mine’s grounds. Art has long been a part of the National Parks since the 1870s, and Hudson River School painters have captured Western landscapes. Koski, an interdisciplinary artist from Washington, will host two events for the community along with the sculpture unveiling on the 26th. On September 21st Koski will lead a hands-on workshop at the Calumet Visitors Center where attendees can create silhouettes. Then the day before the unveiling, the National Historical Park and Koski will share the inspiration behind the project on the 25th. Those interested in learning more about the Quincy dry house ruins and the upcoming commissioned artist events with Kasey Koski and the Keweenaw National Historical Park can find more details here.
