Art
Art brings our attention to our surroundings, connects us with landscape, grounds us in human experience. At REAP, we partner with artists and upcycle art installations to enhance our campus and demonstrate how human creativity and nature can co-exist aesthetically and practically. REAP’s interest is primarily in interactive, kinetic sculpture.
To make this happen we need interested community members like you to support art at REAP! Join our community and work on behalf of your community.
There are 2 main ways to stay engaged:
Email List: We’ll keep you posted on what’s going on.
Guild: A little more hands on, a lot like a club!

REAP was honored to host a Rockspinner installation by artist Zachary Coffin. The piece — a kinetic sculpture which spun — was used for many years as a formative metaphor for systems change. Getting the rock going was relatively easy, but stopping it was a different matter!
