An interactive sculpture offering the spraying of Great Lakes Sacred Essences' environmental sprays joins other pieces of art at the Dream Seeding for Compassionate Communities All Ages Art Show. Featuring close to 40 pieces from adults and at least 30 - maybe even more - pieces from children, the exhibition will have "a lot of very fun stuff". All of these pieces are "creative expression from folks of all ages that in ANY way helps us to see a more peaceful, just, beautiful & ecologically healthy community & world can be created." Through Merri Walters and Martha Hill's sculpture "Flower Essences - Alchemists Supporting Change" several different Great Lakes Sacred Essences environmental sprays are available to spray.

The Art Show is on exhibit in the Art Lounge of the Michigan Union on State Street, near the heart of the University of Michigan central campus in Ann Arbor. The Art Lounge is on the ground floor, to your left as you enter the building from State Street (Directions). Admission is free. Visit anytime and as often as you wish from early morning until late at night.

A reception with live music will be held on Saturday, March 20th, from 6 to 9 p.m. This is going to be an unusually fun multi-generational gathering with hummus, spinach dip, fruit, veggies, sweets and beverages, story telling from Jill Halpern, and beautiful music from longtime children's folk musician Laz of Gemini and assorted friends and family. Admission is free.
