<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 27, 2013) Considered America&apos;s oldest working woodlands, the Northern Forest — stretching from the Tug Hill through the Adirondacks to the coast of Maine — is also home to a remarkable range of traditional artists.

TAUNY executive director Jill Breit says the concept behind Artists of the Forest is to showcase how artists are using the resources that are growing around them in the woods.  The pieces featured in the show come from northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
