August 2 – October 27, 2024 – Roger Tory Peterson Institute – 311 Curtis Street Exd, Jamestown, NY
Art that Matters to the Planet: Clarity, explores the role of art and artists in protecting freshwater ecosystems (including lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, and freshwater wetlands) across the country, and all of the life they support (including fish, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals).
Artists play an important role in helping to protect our natural resources. The exhibit features artists who have partnered with environmental organizations, scientists, naturalists, and writers. With their work, they highlight the unique and fascinating worlds of freshwater ecosystems across the country.
The exhibiting artists include our Think About Water members, Basia Irland and Naoe Suzuki.
Working with artists Kaycee Colburn, Sara Baker-Michalak, and Basia Irland, the Roger Tory Peterson Institute and Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy (CWC) will invite community members to plant seeds along the bank, aiding in CWC’s efforts to protect and restore our county’s most valuable aquatic resources. Naoe Suzuki’s project Flow will invite community members to share their stories about water.
