Earth Day with Revive the Roots
Earth Day is a day to celebrate our beautiful planet and remember our responsibility to protect and cherish it. This year, we’re thrilled to invite you to a one-of-a-kind event that blends the magic of art-making and the harmony of music, in honor of the lands we steward.
Music by the Whale Guitar Project We are delighted to welcome the Whale Guitar for its first visit to Mowry Commons! In the spirit of connection, the Whale Guitar will serenade us to highlight Northern Rhode Island’s connection to the coast. Mowry Commons sits at the top of the Woonasquatucket River watershed, overlooking Stump Pond and the Still Water Reservoir. How we farm, tend our gardens and live our lives directly impacts the waters that wash into the ocean. Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing tunes inspired by the ocean’s gentle giants, as we celebrate the harmony between music and nature.
