ROOTS ON THE ROW// Nature Based Placemaking

As public artist in residence for the 2022 season, Maia Mattson will explore the local ecology and botany of Salem through nature based art making.

Each month we will explore our connection to local ecology through collaborative, nature based art making. Open to all, these workshops will be a time of inquiry, sharing, and making. The series will culminate in a community-created map celebrating the remarkable botany of Salem and the people who are rooted within it.

Studio open hours and workshops updated weekly at www.maia-mattson.com

Open June - December 2022

Maia Mattson is a multimedia artist specializing in botanical installation using local and foraged plants as her primary medium. The focus of her work lies in the intersecting relationships between nature, art, and human impact.
