We’re excited to announce Gathering Ground: A Celebration of Compost Art and Culture! This is a 3-day art exhibition taking place in Sacramento, CA from February 1-3, 2026 alongside the upcoming ILSR CCC26 forum.

The art exhibition will explore how compost, soil health, and regenerative agriculture shape more resilient communities. Through visual art, installations, and thought-provoking dialogue, Gathering Ground is meant to bring together and celebrate science, sustainability, and creativity in one participatory space.
