The Relationship Between the Arts and the Appalachian Trail

Presenter: Caroline Lukasick
Faculty Project Advisor: Christopher Nadaskay

There is a group of artists inspired particularly by the Appalachian Trail (AT). Artists whose work is inspired by or resembles the AT include some through-hikers, but often less experienced hikers who are drawn to the Appalachian area. The AT has played an important role in the lives of some artists, evidenced by their desire to produce work about the trail or inspired by it. However, what some people might not recognize is how those same artists have had an impact on the Appalachian Trail. This research will highlight the History of the Appalachian Trail in relation to the art world, recognize the significance the Appalachian Trail has had on artists, and how artists have, in return, influenced the trail.
