NATURAL HERITAGE PROJECT
September 12, 2019
CREATIVES ADVOCATING FOR WILDLIFE & HABITAT     RESTORATION ~ The vision of Natural Heritage Project and it's director (and artist/curator) Jessica Turtle, is to utilize the arts and experience learning to inspire generations to build environmental and cultural curiosity, understanding, and respect; with special attention to the key principles of sustainability, which include: ecology, social justice, non-violence and grassroots democracy.
The Natural Heritage Project works with artists of all mediums and encourages them to become educators and translators of sustainability. The entire project depends on its successful collaboration with creatives who are hardworking, passionate and dedicated to using their skills toward making a difference. IN YOUR ELEMENT is a juried exhibition that will be installed at Hudson Hospital and Clinic. It is a Natural Heritage endeavor, sponsored by Hudson Hospital and Clinic. ARTREACH SAINT CROIX is the fiscal sponsor for the Natural Heritage Project.
IN YOUR ELEMENT
Nov. 13, 2019 - Feb. 9, 2020
IN YOUR ELEMENT is a juried show hosted by Hudson Hospital & Clinic. IN YOUR ELEMENT will be held at the Hudson Hospital & Clinic running Nov. 13, 2019 - Feb. 9, 2020. This  is no ordinary exhibition. All artists have been given a GPS coordinate and asked to commit to an immersive experience in the assigned environment as well as conducting in-depth research regarding the site. Audio interviews with each artist will be available for viewers during the exhibition. These will serve as the only way other than the visual work in revealing the location. It has already been an adventure and opened my eyes to yet another beautiful and rich natural treasure that we have here at our finger tips in MInnesota! So thrilled to be part of this show ~ love what Natural Heritage stands for as it goes to the heart of my heart ~ the interconnectedness of all things, learning, loving, preserving, honoring, awareness. Hope you will be able to walk the halls of this show and use your senses to identify these amazing places ~

IN YOUR ELEMENT
November 13, 2019
Please see most recent work in my blog. I am currently participating in the juried In Your Element show. This is a show currated through the Natural Heritage Project (Creatives Advocating For Wildlife & Habitat Restoration) and hosted by Hudson Hospital & Clinics running Nov. 13, 2019 - Feb. 9, 2020.
IN YOUR ELEMENT
Each of the fourteen participants in the show received a handwritten GPS coordinate through the mail. Whether they were sent to a beaver pond in the middle of a state park or a sidewalk off a busy urban street, they were expected to create art based on their impression of the environment. We also asked that they do a little historical investigation about their location. Each person’s approach to this project was unique so we invite viewers to hear about their experiences directly. The artists were given the opportunity to answer a series of five basic questions in the form of a very casual phone conversation.
To listen to the artist speak about their experience please click the corresponding link below. The artwork will be on display at the Hudson Hospital & Clinic located at 405 Stageline Rd. in Hudson, Wisconsin from November 13th thru February 9, 2020. https://www.naturalheritageproject.org/in-your-element
