Depictions: Earth, Life, and Our Shared Responsibility

Artists for Climate Awareness members from across the US, along with Arts Alliance of Greater Bloomington members, are showing 2-D and 3-D artwork in a gallery exhibition April 4 – 28 at the Arts Alliance Center in the College Mall in Bloomington, IN.

We are proud to be offering this juried exhibition during Earth Month. Artwork is in both 2-D and 3-D mediums.

Artists created many styles of artwork from representational to abstract in many mediums, and their messaging includes lovely “prayer for preservation” pieces to catastrophic “call to action” artwork. Each artist has written a brief paragraph that is educational and explains how the piece communicates an ecological message– emotional, informational, or educational.

We are coordinating several climate awareness events related to this exhibition, including:

a reception on April 12 at 6 pm, featuring environmentally themed new music, “Ceremony for Earth: A Meditative Installation for Re-connection and Healing,” performed by Grace McKenzie, IU Jacobs School of Music
a pastel workshop by nature artist Avon Waters
a climate-themed poetry and dance performance entitled “Stormwash: Climate Awareness” by Bloomington Writers Guild and Windfall Dancers, Inc.
