This project represents part of a broader initiative developed by the , founded by Asy Connelly and Emily McNeil. 鈥淥ne of the ongoing problems inherent in discussions about climate change is the vast scale of the conversation. The Tempestry Project鈥檚 goal is to scale this down into something that is accurate, tangible, relatable, and beautiful. By blending fiber art with temperature data, Tempestries (a portmanteau of 鈥榯emperature tapestries鈥) create a bridge between global climate and our own personal experiences.鈥
The exhibition will be available for viewing beginning March 31. We look forward to celebrating this collaboration with an opening reception on April 10th to coincide with Arts, Creativity, and Innovation weekend and 13 Days of Green programming.
*Tempestry will also be open for special hours for commencement and reunion weekends and available for community group visits by appointment through June 2026.
