(2007 winner of the Earth Day Art Contest sponsored by U.S. Department of State by Hanna Kutuzava of Belarus)GREEN Spaces: Every Day is Earth Day
Visionaries and Voices at ArtWorks Gallery
March 12-April 10
Opening Reception Thursday, March 12, 5-8 pm
Although you may not have it marked on your calendar and don't necessarily plan on celebrating it, tomorrow is Earth Day. The art and design world has long-embraced the idea that creativity and conservationism can exist simultaneously. "Green design" and "sustainability" have been a focus of many artists for several generations.
The artists of Visionaries & Voices will voice their opinion on our over-consumption and the positive and negative effects that human beings have upon the environment with an opening exhibit tomorrow at Artworks Gallery. By contrasting images of idealist landscapes and over-crowded, polluted cities, V&V conveys "a dichotomy of imagery which illustrates the two extremes of modern life." I am most excited to see works made of recyclable materials and conceptual pieces concerning energy conservation.
