The Telluride Institute is proud to announce an exhibition celebrating the San Miguel River Watershed.
Atlas of the San Miguel: Art, Education, and Community Engagement addresses the shifting ecological, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of the San Miguel Watershed. Organized by Dan Collins and Pam Zoline of the Telluride Institute, the project uses art and technology as dual lenses for investigating the San Miguel river basin. The Atlas draws on local knowledge, scientific findings and creative response to craft an artful dialogue specific to the watershed. It is a springboard for visualizing and contemplating water as a cultural reflection, water as energy, as a connecting agent, the control of water, the complexity of water rights, public vs. private water, and water as aesthetic inspiration.
The exhibition is divided into two components--an Invitational Exhibition featuring both local and nationally known artists and a Photo Competition featuring photos of the watershed.
