Artists in Action: Hands on Art & Education with the Ghost Net Landscape Project
Artist Emily Miller in residence, Rock Creek Building 5 lobby 
Artist Emily Miller, will facilitate the Ghost Net Landscape Project, an interactive art installation and performance, in which she will collaborate with the PCC community to transform piles of “ghost net” fishing rope waste into sculptural, tactile basket forms and other collaborative artworks.
