Opening Reception | Mary Burns: Women and Water
Friday, May 30 | 5 - 7 pm
Free and open to the public.
You are invited to attend the opening reception of Women and Water, a powerful exhibition by Wisconsin fiber artist Mary Burns. The exhibition features 29 handwoven Jacquard portraits representing 39 women across 20 countries, honoring women from around the globe who are passionately engaged in water protection, advocacy, and conservation. Through intricately woven textiles, Women and Water tells the stories of scientists, healers, teachers, farmers, and community leaders––all working to safeguard the world's most vital resource. This stunning body of work invites reflection on water's cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance, and the women who steward it. Enjoy light refreshments, meet the artist, and experience the work of an artist whose storytelling is as rich in meaning as it is in material.
