Annual Fall Celebration Dinner

Throughout the year Still Mountain Center provides opportunities to bring people together who are committed to the Arts. One of our main events is the Celebration dinner in the fall. There is a magic created from the collaboration of artists, musicians, and people from all walks of life who love art. Join us on November 2, 2019 (RSVP by October 26, 2019)!

See details & directions.

We are delighted to feature Laura Rissolo, a plant-based landscape designer who explores the harmonious and sometimes tenuous heart people direct towards the landscape. Her work is guided by engaged travel, ecology, and a deep affection for the natural world. Laura will share her philosopy of partnership with nature as the foundation to reconnecting with our wild selves.

Laura holds a graduate degree in Landscape Design from The Conway School, a certificate from the Cary Institute's horticulture program, and a degree in Fine Arts and Sculpture from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Her firm, Land People Habitat, is based in New Milford, CT.
