Rural Art/Urban Agriculture Symposium

Symposium begins at 10:00am at BMoCA and is free and open to the public.

In conjunction with the BASELINE GROUP's "Chicken Shack Village" project the students in Professor Richard Saxton's class have designed a symposium featuring two panel discussions. Beginning at 10am in BMoCA's upstairs multipurpose space the students have invited a group of local farmers and gardeners that have adopted urban farming, followed by panel of students from the BASELINE GROUP class that will explain the process of building and installing the "Chicken Shack Village." Speakers will address topics such as, the collaborative art process, raising chickens in the urban setting, building and maintaining coops, as well as local farming and gardening. The panel will conclude at noon.
