Artist Panel at Brushwood

Connecting to Our Common Ground - Artist Panel 

 

Brushwood Center's Connecting to Our Common Ground Art Exhibition was part of the 40th Annual Smith Nature Symposium Event Series. The 2023 Smith Nature Symposium theme, Connecting To Our Common Ground, was inspired by this year's Smith honoree 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 explored the ways that artists from different communities experience the natural world.

On September 10th the artists of this joint exhibition with Hyde Park Art Center gathered to discuss their work at Brushwood Center. Watch the full panel below to hear from the artists about their relationships to nature and the natural world, and this special exhibition!
