Virtual Educator Evening: Cultivating Community with Fallen Fruit

David Allen Burns and Austin Young make up the artist collective “Fallen Fruit.” Together, they create beautiful spaces where audiences can enjoy museum collections in new, unexpected ways. Currently they are installing a community garden at the Nevada Museum of Art called “A Monument to Sharing.” Join us in a conversation with the artists as we explore ways in which fruit can inform ideas of place and generational knowledge, a sense of connectedness and our capacity to share the world with others.
