Arts and Sustainability in the Land of Eden
Historically referred to as the land of Eden, Oregon encompasses the high deserts of eastern Oregon, the former volcanoes of the Cascade Range, the breadth of the Willamette River Valley, and the Pacific coast. Arts and Sustainability in the Land of Eden examines the way artists within specific Oregon communities, against the background of landscape and history, reveal concepts of sustainability that broaden our knowledge of what is needed to create a sustainable world.
