During this Artful Evening talk, artist Holly Roberts will speak about her body of work created over the past 40 years, tracing her development as a pioneer in the world of altered photography. Mary Statzer, Curator of Prints and Photographs at the University of New Mexico Art Museum, has written, “Holly Roberts’ contribution to the field of photography is without question. Her work has been added to the canon of experimental ‘creative’ photography in authoritative books on the subject for good reason. Few artists have so successfully combined photography and painting–seamlessly and to great effect–placing the imagined and the ‘real’ on equal footing to describe both lived experiences as well as psychological states and emotion.”

Holly Roberts’ work has been shown internationally, and she is represented by galleries across the country. In 2023, she had a one-person exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Modern Art. She has had five monographs published about her work, including a comprehensive survey of her work from her exhibit in San Diego called, “Storyteller: Work by Holly Roberts.” She has received numerous awards and grants, including two artist’s grants from National Endowments for the Arts.

Global Water Dances 2025: Dancing to Save the World’s Water
June 14, 2025 | 7:00 PM | Silver Beach, St. Joseph, MI
Presented by CPR Dance: Inhale Movement
ST. JOSEPH, MI – CPR Dance: Inhale Movement, a leading contemporary dance company in Southwest Michigan, proudly joins Global Water Dances 2025—a worldwide movement uniting art and environmental action through dance.
Join us on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 7:00 PM at Silver Beach (North end by the pier) in St. Joseph, MI. This free public event combines performance, community participation, and environmental advocacy. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs for comfortable viewing.
In conjunction with the performance, CPR Dance: Inhale Movement invites the public to participate in a post-show beach clean-up, highlighting our shared responsibility to protect one of Earth’s most vital resources: water.
On this day, dancers in over 100 locations across six continents will perform simultaneously as part of Global Water Dances—a global call to action for clean and accessible water. This powerful event connects communities worldwide through a shared choreography and music, performed near local water sources.
“Our work is about connection—between body and planet, art and action, local and global,” says Global Water Dances Artistic Director Vannia Ibarguen. “Dance helps us tell the story of water in ways people can feel—and remember.”
Global Water Dances emphasizes the power of art to raise awareness and inspire action. Through collaborations with local artists, scientists, Indigenous leaders, environmental groups, and educators, each performance becomes a catalyst for lasting change in the community.
This event is part of CPR Dance: Inhale Movement’s 2025 performance season titled “Resonance”—a collection of original dance works premiering in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, New York, Texas A&M, Benton Harbor, and more.
“Resonance” features choreography by Executive Artistic Director Carolyn Pampalone Rabbers and Assistant Director Sara Kausch, along with guest artists Seyong Kim, Saygia Eugene Peabody, and Ciana Jao.
