For the Love of Water is a grassroots resistance themed art exhibition to educate and inspire people to work collaboratively to protect the water. The show is a collaboration between Great Lakes artists whose work connects to water whether through the materials and methods used or the stories told. Water connects us all, and as such, so do the threats posed by extractive industries like mining and pipelines. By bringing the perspective of six different artists whose work is intimately connected to water, this exhibition encourages you to think about your connection to the water and presents a call to action.
