<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Water/Ways exhibition explores how water connects human beings with our surrounding environment, while shedding light on its environmental, cultural, and historical
importance. As “The Great Lakes State,” water is an invaluable resource and part of Michigan’s identity, and we are looking for six host organizations to partner with in order to feature local stories and connections with water. These host communities will
have the chance to engage in conversations with water experts, host the exhibit, create additional programming, and become involved in shaping the dialogue on the future of Michigan’s water policies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
