Confluence Project sites

The Confluence Project involves unprecedented interpretive artwork by artist Maya Lin. Confluence Project works, which may include both building and landscape designs as well as integrated artwork, are currently being installed at key confluences of the Columbia River and its tributaries. The Confluence Project—like Lewis and Clark's journey—is exploring possibilities for a better future. Through place and art, the project's goal is to reflect a consciousness of the tremendous changes set in motion by the Corps of Discovery on the Northwest's native people and environment.
