NWP MFA student Richard Frailing participated in a cross-disciplinary project that culminated in the special exhibit "Fluid Impressions: A Water Quality Exhibit," opening at Public Space One's Close House this week.

English Prof. Eric Gidal, one of the project's leaders,  wrote, "This exhibit grew out of a multi-institutional and cross-disciplinary grant from the National Science Foundation devoted to improving the blue economy. It represents a collaborative effort between environmental engineering and the arts and humanities as well as the many community partners in Eastern Iowa with whom we worked."

In addition to Frailing's contributions, the exhibit features work by Kaden St Onge (PhD student in Literary Studies), Munachim Amah (Journalism), Javier Espinosa (Ceramics), Ellen Oliver (Choreography), and Clara Reynen (SLIS / UICB). 

The regular hours for the exhibit are 11am-1pm. On Friday, Nov. 3, from 2 to 5pm, Public Space One will host a reception to showcase the work and celebrate the group's achievements. All are welcome.
