The Colorado Plateau is home to some of our nation’s most spectacular public and tribal lands, yet these landscapes face tremendous environmental and social challenges.

In October 2017, the Grand Canyon Trust gathered twelve Flagstaff artists for a weekend at the Kane Ranch, in northern Arizona. Tasked with sharing the stories and challenges of our treasured lands, the artists created pieces with brush stroke, camera lens, organic material, word, and sound inspired by the land and each other. The resulting artworks explore issues ranging from environmental injustice, to endangered species protection, to the simple beauty of the land.

Exhibition is open April 7 through May 20, 2018.

*This event is free and open to the public. Appetizers, wine and beer will be served. Please bring your smartphone and headphones to to get the full exhibit experience & enjoy the audio content.

Special thanks to the Museum of Northern Arizona, the Flagstaff Arts Council and David Bower and Sally Glaser for making this project possible.
