Jessica Witte: Seed the Change
by Jessica Witte
Exhibition Dates: August 2020 through February 2021
Location: The Lambert Gallery West
Jessica Witte’s Seed the Change was a day-long collaborative drawing event held June 5, 2016, on the Riverfront at the St. Louis Arch. Using black sunflower seeds, safflower and millet, the unforgettable “seed drawing” spanned 420 feet on the sidewalk along Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard centered parallel to the Arch. The project was commissioned by Critical Mass for the Visual Arts, a local nonprofit Organization, as part of a new temporary public art initiative called the Public Works Project; and funded by the William E. Weiss Foundation.
