DESCRIPTION:What makes a plant viable to transform into a textile? Explore Grace Farms with Horticulture Advisor Kimberly Kelly in search of native plants that can be used for fabric\, and learn why the textile industry is returning to native fibers for mass production. \n  \nOur hands-on Textile Workshops highlight the essential role textiles play in everyday life — from our clothes to our home and building interiors — and aim to educate about and inspire sustainable textile choices that are healthier for the environment and the garment supply chain.

SUMMARY:Beauty & Logic | Flow\, Information & Quantum Physics
DESCRIPTION:Treat both sides of your brain to a concert and conversation exploring the beauty of math and science with saxophonist\, mathematician\, and Grace Farms Music Director Marcus G. Miller\, his band\, IWM\, and theoretical physicist and Professor of Physics at Brown University\, Stephon Alexander! \n  \n  \nMarcus Miller began studying saxophone at age nine and developed a passion that put him on stage at 13. With gifts extending beyond music\, he graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Mathematics. After a short stint at a major hedge fund he moved to New York City to pursue music. He soon developed a reputation as a versatile and virtuosic player\, while studying music production and engineering under Grammy-Winning Engineer “Bassy” Bob Brockman (Notorious B.I.G\, Herbie Hancock\, D’Angelo). \nMarcus has performed at the Obama White House\, Madison Square Garden\, The World Economic Forum at Davos\, The Montreux Jazz Festival\, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Jon Batiste\, and Carnegie Hall. In addition\, he has worked with jazz giants ELEW and Jazzmeia Horn\, as well as major artists like The Fugees and Madonna. \nMarcus maintains his interest in mathematics and physics by giving talks and performances that combine Math and Music. He has been featured at TEDSummit 2019\, TEDxOttawa 2019\, Brown University\, University of Georgia\, and University of Michigan. He hopes to encourage people to become more aware of the potential for mathematics and music to serve as routes to personal\, spiritual\, and community development. \nThis program is recommended for adults and students ages 14 and older\, but visitors of all ages with an interest in music\, math\, and science are welcome.
