The Green Man symbolizes the life that is found in the natural plant world, and in the earth itself. Consider, for a moment, the forest. In the British Isles, the forests a thousand years ago were vast, spreading for miles and miles, farther than the eye could see. Because of the sheer size, the forest could be a dark and scary place. Similarly, the forests that once filled the eastern United States were vast, dense, beautiful and green. Today, you can still find stands of the old woods here and there, and if you wander within and listen closely, you will hear whispers of ages past.

All ages are invited to become part of the Green Man Festival, for a two-month long exhibit at the New Deal Cafe during May and June of this year. The reception date will be forthcoming.
