Rooted in the Ozarks Art Exhibit We invite you to join us for a special evening at Living Lands Art Collective as we gather for Rooted in the Ozarks: Art • Land • Legacy on May 23rd! This exhibit is a celebration of the artists who have devoted their lives not only to creating from the beauty of the Ozarks, but to protecting and preserving the land itself for future generations. The evening will feature a special presentation honoring **Mara Bosh** whose lifelong work in painting, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, weaving, and traditional craft reflects a deep relationship with the Ozarks landscape and the values of stewardship, memory, and our natural world.
