Hilltop House Party
Kate Hill
On Oct. 26, Stone Quarry Art Park (SQAP) hosted its second annual Hilltop House Party in the living room and on the patio of the Hilltop House and Studio. The distinctive Aframe house was designed and built by SQAP founders Dorothy and Robert Riester. The art park is currently undertaking multiple preservation projects to make the home accessible and open to the public. Party guests had the chance to see the progress on the house; view video art by Patti Christakos; and enjoy cocktails created by guest bartender Siraaj Johnson with Madison County Distillery’s Stone Quarry Vodka, mocktails, wine, and an assortment of locally sourced appetizers and desserts. After the sun went down, SQAP Visiting Artist Lorne Covington showcased his light projections on the trees surrounding the house.
