Join us from May 22 through August 31 for an immersive exhibition exploring aesthetic, cultural, environmental, and historical dimensions of water- through art, artifacts, sound, and motion. Immersed is an art, natural science, and culture exhibition designed to cultivate greater enjoyment, appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of our extraordinary, local waterways. The exhibit brings together art, design, and artifacts that explore the depths and dimensions of life in, on, and inspired by water, in an imaginative and immersive installation.
