Exploring art from an environmental interpretation with the hopes of building public awareness.
An art exhibition by Nipissing Region Curatorial Collective is on display until May 9 at the Assembly Hall Gallery, at 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive.
As you proceed through this show you are aware that this group finds it alarming that humanity has corrupted our natural environment to its current severity.
The collective’s focus of concern includes our eco system of industrial pollution, climate change and wildfires to name a few. As this world wide dilemma increases the outcry for change gets louder. You are embraced figuratively by the bold imagery and colours used in each piece.
This exhibit features more than 40 works from various regions of the world including Brazil, Poland and Canada. The art styles used include mixed media, photography and oils.
This is humanity’s time to embrace the urgency and join the movement that our natural environment needs our help.
The Collective works with curators, artists, collectives and cultural organizations, like the Gateway Theatre Guild, to promote, animate, produce and document cultural events in the Nipissing region of northeastern Ontario.
The group connects regional and national audiences for art and culture to emerging and professional visual, media and performing artists in the Nipissing region.
