Opportunity Title Art: Various Projects in Constructing a Butterfly Garden

Theme
Climate Change and Sustainability

Description
These would all be in consultation with the Nearby Nature Park Host and the design partner.
***a ceramics potter to create our 'stream' for the important function of butterfly puddling 
***a woodworker to create a beautiful bridge to the outdoor classroom.  
  We also need 1-2 benches.  It would be ideal if these three pieces matched in some way.
***a person or small group to craft a beautiful and sturdy fence around parts of the site to define and beautify the area.
***Artists to create sculptural pieces that draw attention into special parts of the landscape and create year-round beauty.  Small pieces to top the fence, pieces that would sit in specific butterfly attracting areas to highlight them, pieces that managed to explain something about butterflies/ habitat, or a sculpture that uses the rain to create movement would be lovely.
***Muralist for a butterfly-themed mural (one or two 4'x8' panels) ***biologist to help create the informational sign content and questions so that signs will appeal to a wide age range ***graphic artist to make the informational signs beautiful and effective
