Botanical Art Windows

Artist Lee Running's botanical installation will surround the pollinator habitat and outdoor educational space within the refreshed Hayes Courtyard, connecting the natural world to the educational experience inside the building. Bees, grasshoppers, and countless native prairie plants are ready to be embedded between sheets of glass to adorn the windows of the courtyard. Your donation will help us to secure matching grant funds, enabling this project to be completed in summer 2023.

Creating this permanent work of art will celebrate the pollinator habitat planted by the student sustainability club, Green Life and the historical collections of the St. Ambrose Biology Department.
