NATURE Lab Crowdfunding Kickoff with Bio-Artist Shu Lea Cheang
March 20, 2018 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT
Come celebrate the first day of Spring with NATURE Lab and internationally recognized bio-artist Shu Lea Cheang! Cheang’ will present a Mycelium Network Society workshop and we’ll have a mushroom-themed community potluck. With the help of a few generous individuals and a NYS Department of Environmental Conservation grant we’ve raised $40,000 of the $100,000 required to purchase and renovate a vacant building on our 6th Avenue block into an urban environmental education center — with a full science lab. As NATURE Lab prepares to set down roots as a hub for climate action, creative STEM-learning projects, and bio-art, Shu Lea will describe how supportive systems of artists and organizations is like growing a Mycelium network!
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
