Pack Place Community Gallery
In celebration of both Earth Day and the exhibition Time is of the Essence: Contemporary Landscape Art, the Museum’s education
staff has collaborated with RiverLink and photographer Jeff Rich to offer a special project in Pack Place Community Gallery.
 A River of Words and Art features student work from RiverLink’s local art &
writing competition for kindergarten - 12th grade classes and the Watershed series of photographs by Jeff
Rich that documents the people and places of the French Broad River Basin.
This free community exhibition will be on display from April 2 –
May 4, 2008.
On Saturday, April 19, a public reception will be hosted by the Museum and RiverLink from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. and will include student awards and recognition, as well as a 2:00 p.m. presentation by Riverkeeper Hartwell Carson on
the state of the French Broad River.
