The interconnection between all living things on our planet displayed in various art mediums.
In celebration of Earth Day, Art Center Ukiah will take the whole month of April to showcase and share peoples’ personal understandings of how “We Are One”
We are learning that trees communicate with each other and that there are enormous single organism fungus colonies in the soil which dwarf the largest living things that have ever existed. People everywhere have explored our human connection to our Mother Earth. We are making more and more discoveries that show us that humans are but one of the critically important species on Earth. Explore the two dimensional and three dimensional artistic expressions of this message.
