(Indianapolis, IN) November 2, 2009 - The Central Indiana Land Trust will be hosting a multi-sensory presentation of music by the Indianapolis Women's Chorus and its improv musicians intertwined with a moving slideshow of artworks inspired from Central Indiana Land Trust nature preserves on Tuesday, November 10th at 7:00 pm at the Indianapolis Art Center's Frank M.

Over the summer, dozens of artists, including Jerry Smith, visited the Land Trust's nature preserves and created artwork from nature's inspiration.

The performance will be followed by a dessert reception and a chance to browse the exhibit.
