What is Keeping Watch?

KEEPING WATCH is a multi-year initiative designed to foster collaboration across disciplines and interest groups – working with artists, historians, writers, scientists and environmental groups – to engage, inform and inspire the public about better protecting our environment.

By creating a network among a variety of projects going on around these topics, we will engage the public in multiple ways, targeting multiple audiences: through visual arts, public exhibitions, online multimedia presentations, public events and community engagement.
