The Hidden Ladder Collective, Meg Perry Center, Artists and Activists from around the state are standing up against the Nestle/Poland Spring cooperation with an art show called "45 Years of No." 45 artists and activists are hand illustrating giant letters to be hung on the walls of the Meg Perry Center in September, another wall will be blank for anyone to enter, sign, and illustrate their own letter. A petition, video and speakers will all be present to educate everyone about the serious issue.

Hidden Ladder Collective transformed the inside of the Meg Perry Center with giant mazes with 10 foot markers to solve them, circus games, interactive artwork and a pac-man maze on the floor.
