"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not."

Celebrate Earth Day with us here at PCM by reading one of our favorite stories about stewardship and the environment!

Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful. The book’s final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.

Megan and Murray McMillan are multidisciplinary artists who create projects that incorporate video, installation, photography, and performance. What is Possible is Here Now is a new installation exclusively for PCM’s Creativity Initiative, a groundbreaking project that seeks to connect all children to Rhode Island’s creative community. For this new project, the McMillans worked collaboratively with their two children on a series of videos incorporating everyday objects they remembered from their own childhoods.

The Creativity Initiative is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Carter Family Charitable Trust, The Norman & Rosalie Fain Family Foundation, June Rockwell Levy Foundation, The Malin Family Foundation, and The Carol Peterson Foundation, and The Rhode Island State Council of the Arts.

Special thanks to Roger Williams University and Tufts University.
