I’m writing about an exciting project I am working on with curator, Karen Moss and students in the Graduate Public Practice Program at Otis College of Art and Design.

Portable Park IV – past, present, future = A Living Library and Consuming Nature comprise a series of gardens, art installations and public programs in Santa Monica, California that are part of The Getty’s Performance and Public Art Festival, opening on January 27, 2012 with opening events on January 28.

Please check out this Kickstarter link to this really great environmental art and education project

However, The Getty is not funding this and the Otis budget is very small, so we need to raise $5,000 by February 1st and still have a long way to go!  

We hope you will want to help !
