Anythink is seeking an artist to create a permanent public art piece that will present an opportunity for visitors to participate in an individual ritual activity upon entering the space. The piece will be on permanent display at the Anythink Nature Library. This project will serve as a meaningful, interactive experience that encourages reflection, connection, and a deeper kinship with the natural world.
