The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (District) has determined that large impervious sites (like churches, commercial sites, and schools) are more economical for stormwater management retrofit projects than distributed small projects along roadways. The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations have been receptive to partnering with the watershed district.
This project supports Native artist residencies resulting in newly commissioned artworks by Dakota and Ojibwe artists for Here, Now: American Hi/stories of Land and Stars, a permanent collection show opening in September 2024, that is grounded in the lens of interconnectivity and deeply informed by Indigenous systems of knowledge. The new commissions will fill representation gaps in the collection and offer embodied land acknowledgments in the form of artworks.
