Created by artist Mary E. Burns, the exhibit features 29 handwoven jacquard portraits celebrating scientists, activists, educators, artists, and Indigenous water protectors from more than 20 countries. Through intricate textile art, the exhibition explores the universal importance of water and the women whose work helps sustain and protect this essential resource.
The exhibition will be on display on the Petoskey District Library's second floor from August 27 through October 15, 2026. Throughout its run, the library will offer docent-led tours, related programs, book displays, and community conversations that explore themes of water, environmental stewardship, Indigenous knowledge, and women's leadership.
Partners making this possible: Michigan League of Handweavers & Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation.

Dr. Carl Palazzolo, a wildlife veterinarian for over 47 years, will be giving a presentation on his book "The Comeback of our National Symbol in Michigan." The 200 page, hard-cover coffee table book with 174 photos, was 10 years in the making. The proceeds of sales will go to the rehabbers and other behind-the-scenes people that do so much of the work to care for injured wildlife. In his presentation you will see beautiful photos of bald eagles, and learn about the biology of our national symbol, along with behind-the-scenes pictures and stories on how they are cared for medically and surgically.
