Project Description
The ‘Address Earth Art Expo’ is an annual event in a wide range of Hudson Valley venues, including the HV-MOCA. The proposed exhibition at Lyndhurst features a collection of work by sculptors and artists from the Inspiration Art Group International (IAGI), to at once celebrate our planet Earth and to use our art to address the critical global issues that affect our world and environment.
We are at a critical juncture in the history of our planet where recognizing our common interests and shared well-being are vital. As artists, we have the ability to speak to these deeper truths and bring our vision to the wider world. This exhibition celebrates varied aspects of the planet home we all share. Artists will address ecology, sustainability, climate change, endangered species, clean water, deforestation, humanity – and related issues. Artists will unite under the common theme and express their own vision artistically, without boundaries.
