Kosmos is pleased to award a 2017 Seed Grant to Great Lakes Commons (GLC). The Great Lakes Commons works for the protection of the second largest freshwater source in the world through education, interventions, and water protection. GLC is a diverse network of people and organizations working to protect the bioregional area of the Great Lakes and establish it as a commons– a resource that people collectively share, inherit, protect, and enjoy. With this grant, the GLC will explore an experimental econo-art intervention to rethink currency, value, and the impact money has on the world around us.
