After two years of working to bring this project to fruition, the Toward 2050 project is installed and is receiving thousands of visitors - until June 1st, 2025. Nearly 650 makers from 46 U.S. states and DC, and 9 countries created textile flags celebrating their favorite aspects of the environment. Included in the project was mailing postcards to lawmakers advocating for Climate Change policy to be considered in every sector of legislation, this huge labyrinth installation, and finally the flags will be re-purposed into blankets that will be given to communities suffering from future climate related catastrophe(s). To see more about this project, you can visit www.toward2050az.com, or visit the Toward 2050 project under "Portfolio" on this site.
