At the museum, a stream of blue fabric stretched from the front door to the rear of the first floor. It was littered with trash and tires. The students served as hosts for the event, explaining to parents and museum visitors how they could work together to clean up and beautify the stream. Silk screened leaves, clay bugs, and paper trees were made on site. Students brought paper mache wildlife with them. Over two hours art replaced trash--for every piece of art set in the stream, a piece of litter was recycled. This transformation from a wasteland to an artful habitat serves as a model for community cooperation in ecological restoration.
