Join us for an interactive art experience and thought-provoking conversation on the intricate relationships between our local rivers, their inhabitants, and the well-being of our communities.

With our current exhibition Lauren Strohacker: Old Red, I Know Where Thou Dwellest as a jumping off point, this conversation will focus on wildlife advocacy and the Yadkin River, a lifeline that weaves through our region and sustains the rich biodiversity of its surroundings. We are honored to have artist Lauren Strohacker and Edgar Miller, Yadkin Riverkeeper's Executive Director and Riverkeeper, as our guest speakers. We will also be joined by Richard Bergl, Director of Animal Care, Conversation, Education and Science at the North Carolina Zoo.

Whether you're an environmental enthusiast, an artist, a conservationist, or just curious about our connections to nature, this conversation will deepen your understanding of how our actions today determine the legacy we leave for future generations.
