Kenny Jensen (curator), in conjunction with Florida CraftArt, presents “Environmentally Engaged.” 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.
