SUMMARY:10-12:00   Maris Gilbert – Water: Beauty in Peril workshop –Studio  $5
DESCRIPTION:Maris Gilbert    Project Description   – Topic: Water Quality. Title: Water: the beauty and peril of our waters  (working title) My work is exploring connections of our waters from the northern parts of our state (Itasca) downstream along the Mississippi river through the Twin cities to our beautiful Lake Pepin\, in peril due to sediment rise\, agricultural runoff\, and invasive species\, .  Then moving all the way down to the southern part of our country to the coast of Florida which is affected by all the water which empties into the Gulf of Mexico from the Mississippi river.  There are problems such as red tides\, sea rise\, plastics\, mangrove and marsh changes\, and control of water flow all along the Gulf Coast\, to the Everglades and Key West. \nI create paintings\, collage and treasure boxes to address the beauty and peril of  two ecosystems along this pathway from the north to the south: Lake Pepin’s sediment issues and the Mangroves of the Everglades and Gulf Coast.  I have chosen these two locations because of a love I have for both areas.  Lake Pepin is my favorite Minnesota Lake\, and South Florida which is my home of my childhood and my home in my heart. \nFor this exhibit I will be linking the waters of Itasca on through Lake Pepin and then the waters of south Florida. I am creating an installation/environment that leads the viewer from the familiar gallery area to the unfamiliar upstairs area of my studio where they will become immersed in the imagery of mangroves\, ocean life\, shorelines and waters of the ocean. \nI believe that linking our waters in this heart-felt way and this urgent climate change time \,is important for raising and awaking our consciousness\,  bring acute awareness and immediate actions (SEE\, SAY\, DO)regarding our connections on this planet earth: we are connected by water\, made 70% of water\, and depend on water for life\, as does most life. \nAuthentic Voices:  Rylee Main\, Executive Director\, Lake Pepin Legacy Alliance. Rylee received her Master’s Degree in Public Policy from the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs\, with a focus on water resources in Minnesota. In 2017 Rylee was appointed by Governor Mark Dayton to represent environmental organizations on Minnesota’s Clean Water Council. Rylee currently serves as chair of the Minnesota Environmental Fund’s Board of Directors and formerly served as Treasurer for the Minnesota Conservation Federation.   email: rylee.main@lakepepinlegacyalliance.com     phone: (630) 806-9909 \nWorkshop: An hour and half workshop where participants will engage in a guided imagery about water/body/ocean/rivers. They will be given small bottles of water collected from the shores of the Mississippi directly east of the studio\, and asked to create a treasure box/shrine/prayer for the water using a variety of collage materials.\, setting an intention for one action they will take for the waters beyond their prayers/thoughts and awareness. They will also be given an empty bottle and encouraged to visit shorelines and collect water\, perhaps creating their own shrines for these waters too. By experiencing the water and building awareness of going to the water and caring for it\, it is my hope that awareness and actions will spread.\n______________________________________________________________________________________________\nMaris Gilbert   Biography    jmarisgilbert@gmail.com \n“My art evokes positive healing emotions\, inspiring hope and peace\, while also addressing the beauty and peril of life.” \nI am passionate about the waters in Florida where I grew up\, and about the waters in Minnesota where I now live. \nFLORIDA   Seeing beauty and peril by exploring and learning about its waters\, mangrove ecosystems\, the Everglades\, and coastal shorelines. \nMINNESOTA  Seeing beauty and peril by exploring and learning about fresh water mussels\, trees\, plants\, sediment\, erosion and the history/future of our rivers\, lakes and wetlands. \nMy passion is finding beauty in the juxtapositions and connections of these very different yet equally vital natural environments.  As an artist in the healing profession\, it is my call to share a lifetime of looking and seeing into our natural environment\, to use my passion to help people to live healthy\, fulfilling lives\, and to influence the care of our planet.  I am fascinated by shorelines. Shorelines are where a multitude of elements interface\, overlap and intersect. I will often stand at the shore just to watch and truly see the lines formed by the rhythm of the tides\, the wind and the changing light. I share these timeless moments in my art\, where life and beauty overlap\, ever-changing and yet constant.      It is my hope that my images spark awareness of the beauty in peril.

SUMMARY:1-4:00 Kira Corser – Fish Tales & Climate Concerns workshop  $5
DESCRIPTION:Project Description   KIRA CARRILLO CORSER – Topic: Climate Change & Human RightsWhy Are We Here? Sea Changes ACT:  This project addresses critical ocean changes\, collaboratively with scientists and artists working with communities to create innovative motivators for civic action; while addressing the causes of climate change\, plastic pollution\, fishing and these impacts on human rights.Purpose: The destruction of our oceans is largely hidden under water\, so not visible to the average citizen.  Our goal is to (enticingly) make these destructive changes visible\, more understandable and more emotionally connected to encourage action.Virtual Undersea Experience: 18-foot-wide and 8-foot-tall\, the eyes of fish\, whales\, sharks fall around people as videos light up 3-layered-billowing-walls of white-suspended-silks.   Viewers walk between these as they see and hear facts\, music\, sounds. Shifting perspectives\, shift the experience to make it more magical:  Think tiny sea horse vs a whale’s point of view vs shark and kid. This work has been evolving since 2012\, with participation in the U.S. Human Rights Network’s conference connecting climate change and it’s impact on human rights.Authentic Voice:   Dr. Tim Lueker\, Researcher in Climate Change at Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, La Jolla CA and  from the Sierra Club/Human Rights and Climate Change affecting Trade/ U.S. Human Rights Network.   http://www.drtimfineart.com/Dr._Tim_Fine_ART/Artists_Statement.html\n\nWorkshop   Help the Planet\, and Have fun too! \nThis workshop includes ART MAKING\, with video recordings\, so the participants can continue to enjoy and sustain commitment.  This workshop encourages artistic expression\, interactive collaborative art making\, and story telling. \nThis workshop has 2 options for participants:  \n\nTo promote understanding of climate\, pollution and how human rights areconnected with ocean and water issues\, we will draw and paint on “Fish Masks” based on real life images of fish.\nTo create Ocean Avatar Videos to encourage caring about planet issues we willpaint our hands and/or faces with body paint\, AND then record family stories about fishing\, concerns about climate\, connections to human rights\, solutions to plastic pollution\, etc.\n\nBiography   Kira Carrillo Corser has designed and produced art throughout California\, and the USA for 22 years\, in addition to working as staff photographer at KPBS (10 yrs.) and later at California State University Monterey Bay (8 yrs.)
