The community is invited to visit during park hours 7am to 5pm and add a name to the memorial. \nCathy Tobias\, a photographer and visual artist conceptualized the project to honor lives lost in a tangible\, visual way and offer people a way to remember and mourn loved ones. She started the project in November of 2020 and enlisted a team of volunteers to help tie ribbons when the number of deaths was 16\,000. The memorial now has over 36\,000 ribbons and is as long as three football fields. \nThe memorial first appeared on Anna Maria Island and was also on display at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg. Creative Pinellas will be the third location to host the installation.

Waters are rising and getting warmer. They fuel the intensification of hurricanes and the flooding of our lands. Mickett and Stackhouse’s paintings and large-scale installation\, Breath of Influence\, shed light on the issue of climate change and offer ways to mitigate the warming and\, hence\, expansion of our waters. In addition to the visual art\, Expanding Waters provided a space for performances\, scientific discussion\, and social engagement. \nExpanding Waters explored ways to mitigate the warming of our waters and atmosphere by the reduction of heat trapping CO2.  The show’s participants found many honorific images of trees\, specifically The Mangrove and The Live Oak.  These ubiquitous trees are key absorbers of CO2 and\, hence\, essential to reducing our carbon footprint.  Planting trees is one way we\, in our lives\, can help mitigate the warming of our waters. \nLink to Carol Mickett & Robert Stackhouse \n  URL:https://creativepinellas.org/event/expanding-waters/ LOCATION:The Gallery at Creative Pinellas archive\, 12211 Walsingham Road\, Largo\, FL\, 33778\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://creativepinellas.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Expanding-Waters-Featured-Image-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
