FROM ART TO ACTION ON BERKELEY CREEKS

In partnership with Friends of Five Creeks and River of Words
Berkeley, CA; March - June, 2006

This environmental art project sought to educate and inspire our community to appreciate, preserve, and restore watersheds. In the spring of 2006, each of three groups used materials found on site to make temporary art installations at three distinct creek environments: headwaters high in the Berkeley hills, mid-creek, and creek mouth at the bay.

Exhibitions featuring large-format photographs of the art have raised awareness of local creek issues and promoted dialogue and action on behalf of creeks.
