Florida CraftArt presents the “Environmentally Engaged” exhibition and programming where artists express ideas about the environment, the impending effects of climate change, and human being’s relationship with the natural world. Visitors will be challenged to contemplate their connection to the earth through their actions.
Kenny Jensen will present a talk about his environmentally-themed practice called “We ARE Nature.”
