This program complements our "Spark! Places of Innovation" traveling exhibition that will be at Camp Verde Community Library from June 14 - July 26.  This workshop showcases an innovative way to harvest and conserve water and enjoy thriving plants in this arid region.

Spark! Places of Innovation has been made possible in Camp Verde, AZ by Arizona Humanities.  

Spark! is a Museum on Main Street exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution. It is inspired by Places of Invention, an exhibition developed by the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.  

Museum on Main Street is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide that serves the small-town cultural organizations and citizens of rural America.  

This project is sponsored in-part by the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – Humanities Division and the Community Foundation of Southern Arizona
