Rillito River Project

Today we launched a new website for the Rillito River Project, an organization in Tucson, AZ, that uses site-specific artworks and performances to draw attention to the plight of the Southwest's vanishing rivers.

Founded and led by Tucson artist and visionary Ellen Benjoya Skotheim, the Rillito River Project is enjoying its first CD release: a recording of a live performance of Patmore Lewis's Elemental Flow, a composition commissioned by the Rillito River Project and performed in a special concert in the dry riverbed of the Rillito River at the base of Tucson's Catalina Mountains.

A reprise concert will be held October 18, 2008. You can learn all about it and how to volunteer or contribute at rillitoriverproject.org.

For MetaFoundry, this represents a conflation of two areas that matter most to us: water and the arts. We love being part of the RRP team and supporting its singular mission and unique programming.
