On Friday, July 11, the Museum of Science will open a multi-media project entitled Water Stories: Conversations in Paint and Sound, an exhibit in the Blue Wing on Level 2. Water — our most precious resource. Easy to take for granted, but without it, there can be no life. Industrial practices, human behaviors, and climate change have caused us to face unquestionable challenges regarding the future of our water supply.

Through paint and sound, artist Anne Neely, in collaboration with sound artist Halsey Burgund, focuses our attention on alarming stories unfolding today. This exhibition will consist of paintings dealing with the beauty and foreboding we face with the water issues in this country through either climate change or man-made problems. Neely invites inquiry into water’s unifying role in our world and the many ways humans affect it.  Free with exhibit halls admission. Image below copyright Anne Neely.
