RESTON, VA — Students at South Lakes High School are selling a 2027 calendar featuring photographs of Reston's nature and wildlife to raise money for a new public art installation planned for the Lake Thoreau spillway.
The school's STEAM Team, which creates public artwork throughout Reston, launched the calendar to help pay for materials needed for its next sculpture, according to a news release from Public Art Reston.
The calendar features photographs taken by Mary Prochnow, a longtime Reston resident and photographer who contributed her images to support the students' project.
Led by Marco Rando, the South Lakes High School STEAM Team brings together students to develop public art projects intended to enhance community spaces in Reston.
Proceeds from calendar sales will help purchase materials for the team's planned sculpture at the Lake Thoreau spillway.
Residents can purchase the calendar through Public Art Reston's website or at the Reston Museum in Lake Anne Plaza.
Public Art Reston, a nonprofit organization founded in 2007, documents existing public artwork, commissions new installations and supports public art projects developed by community organizations and other stakeholders.
The organization's work is guided by Reston's Public Art Master Plan, adopted in 2008.
