β€œHumpback Realm” Wall #89 🐳

The Wyland Foundation takes center stage in the rotunda at the Navy Exchange Shopping Mall near Pearl Harbor. πŸ™ The mural represents a "whale's eye view" from 70 feet underwater looking up to the surface. Five whales, including a mother lifting her calf to the surface, along with a giant manta ray are depicted. 🀩

What does WyFo do?

Founded by renowned marine life artist and conservationist Wyland, the Wyland Foundation builds on the artists efforts to inspire lifelong stewardship for #CleanWater and #HealthyOceans through traveling exhibits, classroom programs, and community events. Wyland Foundation programs inspire through art, inform through science, and promote action and behavioral change.

Every fall during our annual Art Challenge students are encouraged to discover the latest issues related to water and environmental health and collaborate on a large scale mural project. In addition to the group mural contest, individual art can be entered for both the individual art contest and an individual photography contest. Winners are eligible for scholarship prizes!

Our Earth Month eco-awareness campaign the Wyland National Mayors Challenge for Water Conservation takes place each April (students can participate year round) and provides curriculum/activities to learn how every drop counts and how to become more water wise through our pledge process www.mywaterpledge.com.

Additionally, we have our Mobile Learning Experience, a state of the art 1,000 square foot mobile bio-diesel learning exhibition that comes to you and features a multi-sensory theater and six interactive stations that allow students to explore how the quality and availability of water affects the quality of our lives. The MLE is field trip alternative kids wont forget.
