River of Grass Exhibition Opening

This season, the Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square invites you to experience River of Grass, an immersive, site-specific exhibition created in collaboration with the Fiber Artist Miami Association and The Center: Hollywood Art & Culture Center. Featuring the work of 12 artists, River of Grass transforms the museum’s two lower galleries into extraordinary corridors of fiber, texture, and form. Custom-built, six-foot-square looms become both canvas and architecture, surrounding visitors with woven environments inspired by the movement, complexity, and fragile beauty of the Everglades. Through fiber art, natural materials, and traditional and contemporary weaving techniques, the artists offer their own sculptural interpretations of this uniquely Florida ecosystem—inviting you to look closer, move through the work, and experience the landscape from an entirely new perspective. The exhibition takes inspiration from Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ landmark 1947 book, The Everglades: River of Grass, honoring both her enduring legacy and the extraordinary environment she fought to protect. Opening Reception: October 1, 2026 | 6-8 PM Meet & Greet with the Artist Exhibition Dates: October 1, 2026–January 24, 2027 Come experience where art and nature intertwine—and discover the Everglades in a way you’ve never seen before.
