CYEA’s Commitment to Pollinators: A Partnership with ArtsXChange

CYEA is proud to partner with the ArtXChange event, particularly with its latest exhibition, “The Pollinators: An Artistic Celebration of Plants, Pollinators, and Habitats.” This exhibition, which features a juried art collection showcasing the beauty and importance of flora and fauna, aligns perfectly with CYEA’s mission to empower youth through agriculture and environmental stewardship.

As part of its involvement with ArtXChange, CYEA’s year-round pollinator garden is located right outside the ArtXChange building. This garden serves as a thriving ecosystem that supports and nurtures pollinators, thanks to the hard work and dedication of CYEA’s youth champion members.

During the ArtXChange event’s opening ceremony on April 6th, CYEA’s youth champions donated pollinator gardens to the guests, further emphasizing their commitment to promoting pollinator-friendly environments.

“The Pollinators” exhibition at ArtXChange serves as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to nurture and protect the precious web of life that sustains us all. CYEA is honored to be a part of this event and remains committed to promoting environmental conservation and youth empowerment.

Join us on April 20th, CYEA’s OooWee Fresh market will be outside the building, providing refreshments and fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase. This initiative not only supports local agriculture but also reinforces the importance of healthy, sustainable living.

We also will be planting pollinator flowers in the Butterfly Oasis at 10:30 am. This hands-on activity is not only a great way to support our local pollinators but also an opportunity to learn about the importance of these flowers in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Grab a shovel and join us in making a difference for our pollinator friends!

Following that, join us for a rejuvenating session of Movement Yoga at 10:45 am in the garden. Led by our experienced instructors, this yoga session will help you connect with nature and nurture your body and mind. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting out, this class is open to all levels and is the perfect way to start your day in a peaceful and mindful way.
