A project within the Art for Nature - Ideas for Our Future series, sponsored by the German Embassy in Washington DC and supported by POCACITO network, a nonprofit organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The starting point for the series was the question:
How can we live healthy and fulfilling lives in the future?
Four schools across the United States each worked with an artist on exploring and probing this question.
In addition to the Maggie Walker Governor’s School, this included Borah High School in Boise, Idaho, Santa Fe Community College in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Vestavia Hills High School in Vestavia / Birmingham, Alabama.
Each school took a very different approach and their works will be published online after the conclusion of the project on https://www.pocacito.org/.
The students at Maggie Walker picked the James River as their focus.
The artist R. Stein Wexler (https://www.rsteinwexler.com/) guided their work.
R. Stein Wexler (she/her) is a public- and installation-artist trained as an urban planner.

After opening remarks, students and R. Stein Wexler will engage in a panel discussion about the ideas and questions that led them to create this exhibition.

Light refreshments will be offered and the Maggie Walker Governor's School orchestra will contribute live music.
