Sean Kenney’s NATURE CONNECTS® – sculptures made with LEGO® Bricks @ Kingwood Center Gardens
Jun 10 @ 10:00 am – 7:00 pm

Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks, an award-winning and record-breaking exhibition that uses beautiful works of art made from simple toy blocks to explore animal endangerment, the balance of ecosystems, and mankind’s relationship with nature is coming to Kingwood Center Gardens from June 2 to September 17, 2023.  Produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Nature Connects depicts important topics that the New York artist, Sean Kenney, holds dear, from protecting an animals’ habitat to planting a garden.

Nature Connects further shows that just as LEGO pieces interconnect, everything in nature is interconnected in a delicate balance. The narratives, along with the intricate displays, also explore the importance of conservation, the balance of ecosystems, predator/prey relationships, as well as the relationships between humankind and the natural world.

Who We Are: Wolf Creek Grist Mill Historic Park & Museum is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration & preservation of historic buildings.
What We Do: We restore & preserve historic buildings that were in danger of being lost forever due to neglect, collapse, or demolition. To make that possible, we also fundraise via special events (like Oktoberfest & Winefest!), grants, corporate support, and individual donations.
Why We Do It: The buildings at Wolf Creek Grist Mill Historic Park & Museum are examples of structures that at one time were common place, but are now increasingly rare. With this part of our collective history vanishing, our organization is dedicated to preserving these rare cultural artifacts so they can be passed down for the enjoyment and education of future generations. #ThisPlaceMatters #WolfCreekGristMill
