Celebration & Create a Fish Workshop | June 26 | 5 – 9 pm | Artist talks 5 PM
We share our love and concern for the Upper Mississippi River by bringing our art to public spaces along the river. We want people to consider the river an important part of their life and we help them become informed on actions that affect the river’s health, from personal to political. Our goal is to change the viewer’s perspective from seeing the river as a resource to seeing it as an entity in its own right.

Addressing the classical elements of earth, air, fire, water as metaphor, but also as embodied actual forces in nature, this exhibit offers an exploration of the relationship between natural elements that give rise to, support and shape life and ecosystems, and how life, in turn, affects the elements. Extending the metaphor, we hope to engender inquiry and insight into how we humans, as beings intertwined in nature, affect natural processes, including our climates. As part of nature, we promote ethics of respect, protection, restoration and sharing of all resources that benefit our human communities and those of others (plants, animals, fungi and microbes) and the homes we share. We wish to engender a sense of awe and wonder; to express gratitude for all that nature provides; to celebrate the ephemeral being-ness we share with all life on this precious planet.
