Description:
The Virginia Tech Perspective Gallery, located within the Squires Student Center, presents the Opening Reception for "The Underwater Wonders of Toms Creek" on Friday, March 17, 2023.

Explore "The Underwater Wonders of Toms Creek" in this community created immersive art exhibition highlighting Toms Creek, a local waterbody that flows into the New River and home to the Bluehead Chub, the rock-moving minnow taking center stage in this installation. Created in collaboration with Perspective Gallery, the Virginia Tech Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, and sponsored by a major SEAD Grant from the Virginia Tech Institute of Creativity and Technology (ICAT), the two year project involved the community art-making of hundreds of painted fish, theatre workshops, and educational programs using the nexus between science, art, and technology to encourage personal attachment to local watersheds and ultimately a community connected to the natural beauty around them.

Admission is free and open to the public.

The exhibit will be on display from March 14th through May 10th.

Gallery hours are Monday from 6:00-9:00 PM, Tuesday-Saturday from 12:00-9:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00-5:00 PM.
