Environmentally Engaged – Call to Artists – DATE CHANGED

August 27-October 23, 2021

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.

VISION

Educational programming will accompany the exhibit.
