How can art and environmental education work hand in hand?

Visit the Project Gallery at the Coconino Center for the Arts (CCA) to explore Willow Bend’s Nature Tales exhibit, on display through December 19.

With support from Creative Flagstaff’s ArtX program, Willow Bend combines environmental education, puppetry, and storytelling to connect people with Northern Arizona’s natural world.

The exhibit features the Ponderosa Puppet Stage, built by Willow Bend board member Eric Souders and inspired by our region’s ponderosa pine forests, and six Pollinator Puppets, designed and fabricated by Lisa Aimee Sturz of Red Herring Puppets and finished with help from community members.

Join us Tuesday, December 8th, at 6 p.m. at CCA to learn more about the exhibit and how Willow Bend uses puppetry to inspire environmental learning.

While you’re there, explore Debra Edgerton’s wonderful exhibition in the main gallery!
