Reception for ACA Member Gallery Show – Depictions: Earth, Life, and Our Shared Responsibility

We are proud to be offering this juried exhibition during Earth Month, and we anticipate exceptional patronage during that time.

Please come to the reception on April 12 at 6 pm, featuring an environmentally themed interactive musical performance , “Ceremony for Earth: A Meditative Improvisation for Re-connection and Healing,” by Grace McKenzie, IU Jacobs School of Music composer. Audience participation will be part of the performance. Art awards to be presented, followed by a reception with refreshments.

Artwork is in 2-D and 3-D mediums. Artists are Artists for Climate Awareness or Arts Alliance of Greater Bloomington members, and can be from any state in the US.

This year, artwork will be juried for impact. This means that artists may have created any style of artwork, from representational to abstract, and can include lovely “prayer for preservation” pieces to catastrophic “call to action” artwork. Each artist has prepared a brief paragraph that is educational and explains how the piece communicates an ecological message.

See the show information here.

Associated events include: a pastel workshop by nature artist Avon Waters; and a climate-themed poetry and dance performance entitled “Stormwash: Climate Awareness” by Bloomington Writers Guild and Windfall Dancers, Inc.
