In this issue: PopEarth brings art/science collisions to the Fox Cities, John Michael Kohler Art Center establishes an Art Preserve, and Celebrate Water Door County does just that. We learn how to make hickory syrup and explore the rich conservation tradition and natural beauty of the Driftless Area. A glimpse inside the creative mind of composer John Harmon and a (very different kind of) glimpse inside the largest mascot factory in the U.S. A preview of the Anne Kingsbury and Helen Lee exhibitions at the Watrous Gallery, new fiction by Liz Wyckoff and poems by Angela Trudell Vasquez and Oscar Mireles.
