You have the unique opportunity to support Bonnie Sherk’s Portable Parks IV Past/Present/Future = A.L.L.—an update on her landmark project that considers 21st century sustainability issues, as it encourages community involvement and public education. Additionally, you will also be supporting Consuming Nature, the Otis artists' installations and public programs.

Bonnie Sherk was the one of first artists ever to green urban space more than 40 years ago. For her Portable Parks I-III (1970) she imported trees, sod, picnic tables and live animals to the streets of downtown San Francisco. 

Then she created The Farm at the crossroads of the 101 freeway and four neighborhoods.  Her ongoing, community-engaged, eco-art education project A Living Library (A.L.L.) has reached national and international audiences.
