Bee Central - Small World
Bee Central: A Community Art Pollinator Project is holding its second free community art event “Small World” on Saturday, July 4th at the Brent’s Grist Mill Heritage site at the bottom of Dilworth Mountain along Mill Creek Linear Park in Kelowna, BC.
“Small World” is a community art event created by Samuel Roy-Bois, sculpture professor at UBC Okanagan. This public art project’s name refers to Stanley Milgram’s experiment demonstrating the six degrees of separation between people. It is an invitation to create a large three-dimensional representation of human and nature interconnections. Throughout the day the public is invited to do some light carpentry, adding segments to the colourful wooden structure and witness the growth and development of this beautiful collective sculptural work. This intricate sculptural web of sticks and nodes will be a symbolic representation of the fragile ecosystem shared by both humans and pollinators and of our deep inter-dependance. Small world is also a celebration of the collective effort, and the pleasure of fabricating. All materials, components and tools will be provided on site.
Each event is free of charge, family-friendly, and open to the public. Drop in at any time during the event.
