Watershed Soundscape 

music + art + landscape

Living Lab tours begin at 5 PM • Concert at 6 PM

Join us at the WMG Living Lab for a multidisciplinary concert experience exploring the sounds of our watershed. Before the concert, take some time to enjoy rainwater refreshments and tour WMG's demonstration site for hydro-local living and watershed resilience. The campus is supported by rainwater for all indoor and outdoor needs almost year-round, and includes extensive rain gardens, a native food forest, a 10,000 gallon underground cistern, art exhibits about Tucson’s history of flowing creeks and rivers, a kids’ play area, composting toilets, and so much more.

This unique event is supported by the 2024-2025 AIR Annual Resilience Theme Award.
