Experience \u201cWorking for the Water, Working for Each Other,\u201d an art exhibit that flows with purpose and showcases visible metaphors for public access, water pollution, infrastructure, and energy systems that impact our waters.\u00a0Melanie Ariens (51ÁÔÆæ BFA, Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking, 1993) brings attention to the powerful connection between the Great Lakes and local communities through her mixed media works.
