The Moss Farm Film & Arts Invitational unfolds at Rhoneymeade, pairing an international slate of films about our connections to land, culture, and ecology with creative experiences in a landscape of fields, woodlands, sculpture, and historic architecture. Across the weekend, visiting artists lead hands-on activities, music fills the grounds, and participants work with natural materials such as earth pigments and botanical inks. Saturday evening features a performance by Centre County singer and songwriter Eric Ian Farmer, followed by an outdoor film screening in collaboration with Boal City Brewing. Sunday offers a separate-ticket Act 48 Professional Development Workshop for educators and teaching artists that delves into Moss Farm’s Art of Nature framework of Stone, Plant, Animal, and Love (Community). Act 48 is sponsored by PAEA. The gathering also introduces Moss Farm’s limited-edition Rewilding Series guitars, handcrafted in Montreal by Brett James Hawes of Belvedere Guitars.
