For those of you who live in the Chicago region, here are two upcoming events:
On September 23 the Wetland Initiative is joining with the Geographic Society
of Chicago, the Chicago Park District, the Chicago Council of Science and
Technology, and many other community science organizations. We are hosting a day
of fun and nature exploration at Big Marsh Park!
Big Marsh Park is a hidden restoration gem in the middle of the Rust Belt. When
you step into the park, you are immediately immersed in a beautiful restored
marsh with abundant life. This is a wonderful opportunity for families,
scout groups, science clubs, and community groups to come together and delve
into the fascinating natural and cultural history of the southeast side.
I’ll be bringing all 6 of my artworks completed as the resident artist at The
Wetlands Initiative.
Plus:
- Mark Bouman from the Field Museum will be presenting a talk about historic
maps and map makers of the Calumet Region
- Meet scientists and live animals
- Arts and science activities
- BioBlitz nature observations and guided tour by TWI’s senior ecologist Dr.
Gary Sullivan
So mark your
calendars and save the date - we can't wait to see you there!
In October,
the Oak Park Public Library will be hosting an exhibition of my work with The
Wetlands Initiative and photography of the wetlands themselves by senior
ecologist Dr. Gary Sullivan.
Gallery Exhibition: October 10 – November 11
Reception and Panel discussion on November 9th, 6PM
Free Parking
Hope to see
you at one of the events.
