1. Second Nature: Art from Reclaimed Objects
The Kansas Wetlands Education Center, in partnership with the Fort Hays State University's Department of Art and Design's ceramics program, will be hosting a recycling art exhibition beginning next week entitled “Second Nature: Art from Reclaimed Objects,” and recycling art workshops in November.
Art enthusiasts and supporters are encouraged to attend the opening reception of the exhibition “Second Nature: Art from Reclaimed Objects” from 6 to 8pm at the KWEC on Friday, September 23rd. Light refreshments will be served, and participants will be able to view art pieces made my FHSU students that will be displayed in the KWEC’s Koch Wetlands Exhibit through November 5th.
The opening of this exhibition will serve as the kick-off event for the KWEC’s upcoming series of recycling programs, made possible by a grant from the Golden Belt Community Foundation. This exhibition began with the hopes of inspiring people to re-imagine and re-purpose used items in the world around them. FHSU students were encouraged to find old, seemingly useless items and re-imagine uses for them through a creative means. All pieces have a ceramic component to them, but also utilize various other mediums.
The FHSU Art Department will also be hosting two workshops on November 5th. The first Recycling Art Program will take place from 10am to 12pm and will be directed towards participants age 12 and under. The second Recycling Art Program of the day will take place from 1-4pm and will be directed towards participants age 13 and over. Registration is required.
2. Taking care of the planet
Taking care of the planet” is too daunting of a task, and too easy to dismiss unless we break it down into a set of specific instructions that can help us get from where we are today to the carbon-neutral individuals, families, and workplaces we need to be.
Come out to the KWEC on October 4 to hear Eco-Consultant Rebecca Ford give an amazing program. In this fast-paced presentation, you will receive a comprehensive and practical set of instructions that, when implemented, will increase the level of carbon neutrality in your home and office.
In addition to specific action-steps, we’ll cover some of the good and not-so-good products and gadgets that help (or hinder) energy efficient lighting and energy conservation, water conservation and water purity, toxic free living, waste reduction and recycling, indoor air quality, and finally, carbon neutrality.
