Listening to Water Program
In April 2015 Shippensburg Arts Programming & Education (SHAPE) and Middle Spring Watershed Association (MSWA) hosted an art exhibit called FLOW: Art Inspired by Water at the SHAPE gallery, Shippensburg. That show featured art exploring the beauty, ecology, and fragility of rivers, streams, and other water systems, and the impact of water in our lives, with over 65 works of art in different media and styles by over 30 artists, about half of whom were from Cumberland and Franklin Counties, five from other parts of Pennsylvania, six from Maryland or West Virginia, and three from other states.Â
A series of short presentations on stream ecology, hydrology, and conservation programs were offered on Thursday evenings, free, and open to the public. Artist-painted rain barrels were auctioned off and raised funds for MSWA. SU Farm volunteers, led by Ben and Gail Culbertson, replaced storm drain tiles around Shippensburg. MSWA volunteers cleaned trash from the banks and waterway of Middle Spring Stream. It was an amazing April!
