What would happen if a whole community was invited to engage with nature through any kind of art? Could the process prompt change? Would the process flow through the community in patterns that mimic those found in nature? Prompt for the Planet: Community Creates explores and celebrates the radial explosions, and interconnected root systems just one call for environmentally engaged art can create. Join us for an eco-cabaret, a night of music, poetry, dance and film set in motion by a prompt from the poet Amanda Gorman. Learn how you too can be an artful activist, and start taking small steps toward change.
