Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks Coming to Fort Worth

Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks, an award-winning and record-breaking exhibition that uses beautiful works of art made from simple toy blocks to explore animal endangerment, the balance of ecosystems, and humanity’s relationship with nature is coming to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden | Botanical Research Institute of Texas (FWBG|BRIT) from May 6 through Aug. 1, 2021.

Produced by Imagine ExhibitionsNature Connects depicts important topics that the New York artist Sean Kenney holds dear, from protecting an animal’s habitat, to planting a garden, or showcasing a beautiful orchid – subject matter with particular appeal to gardens.

Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, said “The messages in the exhibition about our connection to nature are beautifully presented and effectively weaved into the story in the hopes of inspiring visitors to think more about mankind’s impact on the greater world around us.”

Explore the beauty and wonder of Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks, open daily to the public from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a limited engagement May 6 through Aug. 1.
