Kate got her start at TART as a volunteer teaching bicycle and pedestrian safety. She officially joined the staff in 2015, and her responsibilities include directing all digital and print communications, coordinating trailside sponsorships, managing TART’s brand, and pitching in wherever and whenever possible. When not in the office, you can find her on a trail, in the water, practicing yoga, at a Phish show, or adventuring with her kiddos.

Trails As The Third Space

1:15PM-2PM

What happens when trails become more than a path from A to B? Explore how public art transforms trails into “third spaces”—places where people gather, reflect, and connect outside of home and work. Through case studies, visuals, and discussion, dive into the cultural significance of trailside art, its impact on community identity, and how it invites deeper engagement with both people and place. We’ll also touch on the role of community in shaping these installations, and the benefits they bring to mental health, movement, and belonging.
