What does art tell us about the future of our water alongside climate change? This Earth Month, join Notre Dame Sustainability in exploring a curated selection of water-centric works of art from the Museum's permanent collection that aren’t currently on display.

After an up-close look at these specially selected works, Museum staff will guide us in a discussion to share our perspectives, questions, and ideas. Come for the art, stay for the dialogue, and leave with a deeper connection to the element that sustains us all.
