Thoughts on EcoArt independent research

The first web page i looked at was the Eco Art Space blog. Its basically an archive of lots of different eco art exhibitions and projects that have been done over the recent years. One that caught my attention was done in September of 2010 and it was called Eco Art Fest. Lots of environmental artists came together and created different art pieces all along the Schuylkill river in Philadelphia. The purpose is to celebrate the environmental life along the river and to bring the community together. This project touches close to home for me because in my home town (Durham, NC) we have Eno Festival. The Eno river runs through Durham, and every summer we have a festival to honor the river and the wildlife of the river. All forms of art -- including lots of environmental art -- are represented at the festival, and its such a wonderful tradition and bond that the Durham community holds. I would love to do projects in this class that are similar to one of these examples. I wonder if the Haw river has a day to honor it?
