New opening: Excess and Environment: Sustainability in a World of Consumption
I may be attending this opening on Sustainability in a World of Consumption but in any case want to highlight the event. I often get contacted by groups and artists telling me of their openings and I have been remiss in posting them often enough. I had an excuse lately – traveling and being extremely busy with Social Media Analytics. In fact, I was in Exeter, UK just last weekend, the very place this blog is hosted from – but missed connecting with the publisher of ArtNewYorkCity.com while I was there.
Sustainability in a World of Consumptionis first exhibit claiming to explore the presence of excess exists in our day-to-day lives, but often hides behind masks of disposal systems, social acceptance, and misinformation.
You can also help raise money for this organization by buying it’s art.
Art for Global Justice group seeks to use the power of art to create social change both locally and globally. Youth workshops, art exhibits, and an art exchange program will facilitate this movement towards seeing other perspectives and creating a more just world.
