POLLINATE THIS! ART SHOW — last month!
Daily through October • 10:00am – 4:00pm
We wander in gardens, foster habitats, explore ecosystems. Life buzzes, entwines, fosters, interacts—one species to another and another and another.. Birds and insects and plants thrive together. Can we pause, notice? Can we let the outside in, become as intimately connected to the world around as a pollinated plant is to its pollinators? How can art explore, examine, and express pollination—metaphorical and otherwise?

Artists and photographers with work on exhibit include: Andrew Keim — BJ Gray — Bryan Richheimer — Carol McDowell — Claudette Eaton — Dave Marcotte — Deana Allgaier — Deb Sharpe — Heidi Lyon — Isla Lothrop — Janet Labelle — Jerry Lasky — Judy Welna — Juniper and Prudence Murray — Katherine Guttman — Katherine Moran — Katrina Dreamer — Kimberly Sultze and Jon Hyde — Kristi Wilkinson — Laurie Bepler — Lori Hinrichsen — Louanne Nielsen — Mariposa Ottens — Miriam Adams — Monique Dewyea — Nancy Stone — Paula Kelley — Rebecca Garavan — Rebecca Rosenthal — Rich Kelley — Tina Valentinetti — Trine Wilson
