Art

A gallery is slated for construction at North Third Street and Avenue C in Marathon. We exhibit art from local artists in the guest rooms at Eve's Garden.

Add an aire of mysticism to your garden with a Garden Moai. This sculpture is inspired by the monumental heads on Easter Island. Discarded fence post footings transform into artifacts that can be enjoyed for many generations. Each Moai has its own base post and can stand on or be fixed to the ground.
