Earth Day Art Exhibit Blossoming At Muscatine Public Library
MUSCATINE – PURE IOWA ~ SPARKLING STREAM WATER ~ a Pop Art exhibit and recognition of Muscatine County Energy Champions top the program for the Earth Day Celebration hosted jointly by the Muscatine County Energy District and League of Women Voters of Muscatine County. The event will take place Monday, April 22 at 6:00 at the Musser Public Library, Room304 in Muscatine.
Christine A. Curry, creator of this Andy Warhol-inspired pop art project, will be a featured speaker and available for an artist meet-and-greet. Using a fictitious, tongue-in-cheek concept that water quality in Iowa is excellent, Curry’s PURE IOWA ~ SPARKLING STREAM WATER ~ exhibit delivers an environmental message to ignite a larger movement of awareness with action for cleaner water while showcasing conservation farmers as a critical source of fact-based solutions.
The Pure Iowa project features one large inflatable “Save Mississippi River” pop can measuring nearly 4’x8’; 3’x7’ display panels; and a video component.
“Clean water needs to be a top priority for both public health and recreation,” says Artist Christine Curry of studio tew productions. “It is my aspiration to create and ignite a larger movement of awareness with action on behalf of cleaner water.”
Jon Koch, Director of Water and Resource Recovery Facility for the City of Muscatine, will also speak on the work being done throughout Muscatine County toward cleaner water.
The event also serves as the first ever Recognition of Muscatine County Energy Champions by the Muscatine County Energy District. Utility-based, industrial, and commercial solar energy projects will be highlighted.

- CIPCO & Eastern Iowa REC for the Wilton Solar Array
- Kent Corp – GPC Musser Solar Field
