Opening Reception: Thursday, September 23rd, 7:00-8:30 p.m Artist Lecture beginning at 7:15 pm Wendy Brawer Green Maps of the World: Charting a
Sustainable Future
One small map started a revolution in the way cities are mapped. First printed in 1992, the Green Apple Map was designed to help people experience New York City's wealth of ecological resources, community spirit and culturally significant places. Under the direction of ecological designer Wendy Brawer, this one map sparked the global Green Map movement. Today, nearly 700 locally-led Green Map projects in 55 countries have utilized its universally shared visual language of icons and adaptable framework. Maps from all over the world, including our own Keweenaw Green Map being developed by the Sustainable Keweenaw Resource Center, will be on display.

Born and educated in Japan, Natsu now lives in New York City.

Kantor's photographs investigate the construction of identity and community in our increasingly complex and multi-cultural world.
