The World Rivers Art Project

Since the start of civilisation art has been a huge inspiration to many.

The World Rivers Project has been set up to create a landscape of  river from across the world in the form of a giant curtain.

Participants are asked to dip a white cloth (any size and any type) in a river and take photos of the event.

The result is then mailed back to Artist Lee Tracy, who will individually embroider it with the river name, location, and date. Then add it to a all the others.  The final artwork will be a patchwork of all the rivers across the world and their unique shades and colours.

For many rivers are a vein of hope, and a means to survive.  With the recent oil spill on the Yellowstone River we are reminded how precious our natural waterways are.

Take up the challenge and ensure your river is covered in this fantastic art piece.
