The Fields Project
The Fields Project and Arts Festival is a unique art venue, which showcases field sculpture and also features an outdoor art show. Both celebrate the century long marriage of art and agriculture in Ogle Country, which began in 1898 when Lorado Taft founded the Eagles' Nest Art Colony and established it on the banks of the Rock River.

Just as the beauty of this area inspired artists then, it continues today to draw painters, sculptors, and photographers to Oregon providing them an opportunity to "paint the land" and find endless subject matter for artistic expression.

In addition to featuring the work of professional artists, local and countywide high school students are invited to participate. Together with their instructors they are invited to create a 10-15 acre earthwork sculpture and discover connections to the agricultural community. Participating students are given the opportunity to exhibit and demonstrate their own works of art at the Art Show and Sale.

Airplane rides providing aerial viewing of the field sculptures, a juried art show and sale, live music, children's activities and games, and good food round out the weekend fun.
