About Perspectives
Curated by Keri Maxfield, Art Director of the Nurture Nature Center, the Perspectives project challenges artists to explore environmental themes through artistic expression including visual arts, book arts, poetry, photography, and more. This year’s theme focused on connections, and many of the installations explore concerns, actions, and finding hope in the face of ecological challenges.
