The Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC), in partnership with Connecticut-based painter John H. Sargent, is organizing a community celebration through art to coincide with fish migration season in the Connecticut River watershed. This exhibition of 2-dimensional works will tell stories of our connection to rivers and to the fish, birds, and other wildlife that live here, as well as to our creativity, curiosity, and interconnectedness with the natural world. The exhibit aims to explore our deeper sense of place and belonging in the watershed.
The show will feature two large riverscape paintings, The Source and The Estuary, by Connecticut-based artist, John H. Sargent (with Morgan Allen, Jade Johnson, Finn Kellert, Mark Lewchik, Melia Pisano, Gretchen Saverson, and Emma Yount), as well as several works by the following artists: Sophie Foulkes, Julie Kumble, Susan B. Mulholland, Deborah Savage, Abena Songbird, and Samuel Swap.
This event is part of an ongoing online series, World Fish Migration Day, “We Are River People”, a global art show sponsored by World Fish Migration Foundation.
