Protect, Preserve and Remember is a new exhibit at the Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station continuing through May 30. Protect, Preserve and Remember uses artist Laura Green’s experiences exploring the Southern California region with her family. The inspiration for the installation was imagining the Los Angeles River’s journey from mountains to sea. Each side of the cube showcases a different biome that the LA River travels through, such as mountains, woodlands, chaparral and the coast. The human figures, often children, appear to be on a similar journey. Native flora and fauna are represented on a larger scale to draw attention to their need for protection and preservation.

This temporary art installation is sponsored by the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission through funding from the Urban Art Program, with support from Glendale Library, Arts & Culture, Glendale Community Services and Parks, and the Adams Hill Neighborhood Association.
