Prairie Rivers Network and our friends at the Cohen Exhibition Workshop in Urbana present an exhibition exploring the future of the Illinois landscape—one shaped by restoration, resilience, and possibility. Illinois’ landscape tells a powerful story: fertile soils, vast prairies, winding rivers, and communities deeply connected to the land. Today, that landscape also holds extraordinary opportunity—to restore natural systems while building a healthier and more resilient future for all who call this place home. Imagine: Wetlands filtering drinking water and absorbing excess floodwaters. Prairies supporting biodiversity while storing carbon in deep-rooted soils. Rivers connecting communities across the state while sustaining the ecosystems that make life here possible. This exhibition invites viewers to see the Illinois landscape not only as it is—but as it could become.
