How to Support the Mission of Water Rising

Thank you for making a contribution. Water Rising has grown from the initial book collaboration to include musical performances, a video installation, and events across the country and around the world. In 2016, we raised over $5,000 for environmental groups throughout the United States. All of this could not have been done without the generous support of patrons like you. But the mission is not over yet.

All contributions, honoraria, and book sales from events and the website are donated to environmental groups such as 1,000 Friends of Oregon, CT Audubon, and Scenic Hudson. We are committed to using this project, and any funds that can be raised through the project, to generate conversation about and support for environmental stewardship. 

Purchase an Artwork

A broadsheet, limited to an edition of 50 and
signed by Garth Evans and Leila Philip, will be for sale.
Price $250

The twelve original watercolors that will be reproduced in the book will be for sale. 
Price $4,500 each

The price of these watercolors is based upon prior sales of Garth’s watercolors. Johannes Vogt, of his New York Gallery (Johannes Vogt Gallery), has agreed to donate their usual 50% commission, meaning that 100% of the proceeds from the watercolors will be directed to the book.

Checks should be made out as follows:
to Garth Evans
, with “for Water Rising” indicated in the memo portion.

A tax deduction may be obtained for the purchase of artwork by donating the art to a tax exempt institution such as a museum, school, or library. If you are interested in purchasing some artwork to support the project, then gifting it as a tax deduction, please contact us and we will help you place the artwork.
