Brushwood Center, in partnership with Hyde Park Art Center and collector, artist, and environmental scientist Patric McCoy, presents an exhibition of artwork celebrating the different ways in which we connect with and are shaped by nature.

Connecting to our Common Ground is a special exhibition in honor of our 2023 Smith Nature Symposium Awardee, Baratunde Thurston. In his PBS show, America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston, Thurston travels the country to uncover our complex relationship with the outdoors. In this exhibition, we explore the ways that artists from different communities experience the natural world. How has nature been an important part of their lives? In what ways has their time outside been impacted by climate change, equity, or access? How has their relationship with nature shaped who they are as people?

Paul Branton, Peter Gray, Ken Hester, Renee Robbins, Sheri Rush, Preston Lewis Thomas, Julian E. Williams, Jr.
