URBAN ALCHEMY: Turning Garbage Into Gold
"Bellingham Dance" was created for this project. About 20 folks cleaned up Maritime Heritage Park in Bellingham, WA (despite the SNOW in April!). The project was co-sponsored by Bellingham Parks and Recreation, Allied Arts of Whatcom County and Sanitary Services Corporation. Two local papers wrote about the project. See Press page for links to the articles.
