LINCOLN PARK CONSERVATORY / EARTH, WATER, FIRE, WIND & SPACE

The Lincoln Park Conservatory, located at 2391 N. Stockton Drive, is excited to announce the installation of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind & Space, 2023. This exhibition is now on view and open to the public through October 1, 2023. Lincoln Park Conservatory is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4 p.m.

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind & Space, 2023, by artist William J. O’Brien is a multi-sensory installation created for the Lincoln Park Conservatory.  The two-part installation spans both the Palm and Show rooms and consists of over 100 ceramic and papier-mâché sculptures. The sculptures are a response to the wild and varied natural plant habitat. The intention of these works is to promote both a contemplative and sensory experience for the public, and to spark curiosity, imagination, and contemplation with nature.

Admission is free, but reservations are required. Book your visit and learn more here.
