We created a space in the gallery to receive samples of water collected from people’s local streams. School groups and community centers were given empty jars and lids to send out with people so that they could find their local waterways and fill the jars with a sample of the water. Filled jars were returned to the gallery and each person wrote out a label and placed the water sample in designated areas, according to the watershed, on the shelves. The overall collection allows the visitors to compare the array of water quality throughout the region’s streams.
