The Foster is a quiet, contemplative space in which to take a breath from regular life and experience beautiful art and inspiring wilderness journeys. The 14,000 square-foot venue opened in 2016 with a mission to share British artist-explorer Tony Foster’s watercolor diaries and inspire reflection, discussion, and education about art, wilderness, and the natural world. It is our hope that The Foster will be added to your destination list of local attractions that you share with your residents.
