During our walk we will highlight the way species, water and energy move through the landscape. During this event, people will be exposed to ecological patterns and processes often overlooked or unseen. We will begin concentrating on nested scales and connections between things that happen locally, experiencing how macro emerges from micro and micro is shaped by the macro. Attention to urban stream headwaters, native plants and animals (i.e. yellow-crowned night herons) that survive and thrive in cities will bring this into view.

Hundreds of thousands of people come to Grand Rapids to engage with blue-chip artists in ways that rarely happen at Art Basel or other established art events, unless you’re a major collector or critic.
More Art Upstairs follows four accomplished artists as they compete at ArtPrize, a populist experiment that’s challenging the art world’s hierarchy by giving the public the power to decide which art will win almost half the $500,000 in prize money.
Honest, funny, and dancing with heart, Queens Girl in the World chronicles the misadventures of bright-eyed, brown-skinned Jacqueline Marie Butler, whose sudden transfer from a protective, middle class late-1950s upbringing in Queens to a progressive, predominantly-Jewish private school in Greenwich Village, adds comical confusion to her already quizzical, fish-out-of-water adolescence. Lively and poignant—and punctuated with the irresistible sound of Motown—Queens Girl in the World tags along for a young woman’s journey of self-discovery, at the onset of Civil Rights-era social change.
