The Water Moves Life project is part of a broad creative outreach project that is developed as a series of temporary installations in cities in Alaska highlighting work of contemporary Alaska artists and featuring durable artworks placed in public spaces that are accessible and populated. The Anchorage Museum has been working with project collaborators to identify a series of sites that are safe, visible, and help shift the paradigm of art in public space.
The sites selected for installation serve as rendezvous points for water-based community programming, including small gatherings and interventions will be conducted by the Anchorage Museum, collaborating artists, and community partners, to highlight local waterways, the importance of water in sustaining life, and the relationship of ecosystem health.
Other installations sites for Water Moves Life include Cuddy Family Park in midtown Anchorage and Alaska State Museum in Juneau.
