Earth from Space Poster Exhibit
June 13 - August 2, 2009

The Ghost Net Project
August 5 - August 8, 2009
Silent Auction & Sustainable Seafood Festival: Saturday, August 8th from 5:00-10:00 p.m.
The Ghost Net Project is a unique collaboration between artist Heather Green and poet Katherine Larson that uses the physical remains from fishing as a lens to examine historical, cultural and ecological relationships to the Sea of Cortez. The project consists of 25 shadow boxes constructed with salvaged shrimp boat wood and filled with a display of flotsam and jetsam collected on the rocky shore of La Cholla, in the upper Gulf of California. Each box is paired with a poem, an excerpt of which is etched onto its glass façade.
