“Community View” unites the community of Stone House Farm and Inn and Perry County, PA with the world. The project will be a mix of local eyes and those from farther afield. Even though the two groups may never meet in person they will be represented together through “Community View”.
Participants from across the United States sent images of their eyes, both open and closed. Those images were uploaded on the Community Views web page (Click here for web page.) and drawn on porcelain tablets that are installed at Stone House Farm Inn. The tablets will stay at the farm and interact with visitors and nature over time.
Images of all participants and their tablets are here.
Community View was installed in September 2024.
Stone house Farm and Inn (2 Stone House Road, Elliottsburg, PA) is run by Hempfield Behavorial Health Inc,, the leading provider of evidence-based behavioral health prevention and treatment services in central Pennsylvania. Their mission is to take proven programs for the prevention or treatment of child abuse, delinquency, youth violence, school failure and mental illness, and intellectual and developmental disabilities and implement them under actual community-based conditions.
This project was supported by a grant from Stone House Farm and Inn in partnership with Perry County Council of the Arts. The project is made possible by “Arts for All” an initiative of the Greater Harrisburg Community Foundation, a regional foundation of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities.
