Artist Rebecca Schultz has facilitated a series of art and nature walks, encouraging participants to take observations and translate them into artwork. Schultz has created a large fabric installation from these images, which will be installed at the park on April 2, 2022. The piece will then be removed to go on display at the Tacony LAB until the end of May.
