As we welcomed in our annual curatorial theme of home/land, we invited interested community members to join us in a unique peer-to-peer teaching and learning program, Fertile Ground. Together we built a library filled with books revolving around themes of home and land. This collection was open for folks to come read at Union Gallery from June 6 – July 24.
