SUMMARY:Our House is on Fire Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the power of art to inspire environmental action and advocate for a greener\, healthier future!\n\n\nArtists are often inspired by nature and create art out of the outstanding natural beauty all around us. We are now at a critical juncture where we need to advocate for harnessing our imagination\, wealth\, and technology to make our communities and our country greener and healthier places for everyone to live. Recently the Supreme Court curtailed the powers of the EPA to protect the environment\, no longer requiring the reductions in emissions that are urgently needed to limit global warming. What are we to do? \nWe need clean air\, clean water\, clean energy\, open spaces and a livable climate for ourselves and future generations. Linda Dubin Garfield\, Pamela Tudor\, Elsa Wachs\, Chantal Westby\, and Fran Lightman Gibson interpret these catastrophic times and present works in their own visual language that strive to create an appreciation for natural beauty and a concern for its preservation. \nThis exhibit will be on display October 21 – December 18. \nPenn State Great Valley strives to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals in our community to engage fully. The campus includes accessible and gender neutral restroom\, dedicated parking spaces\, elevators\, lactation room\, step-free access\, and a complimentary wheelchair. If you require any accommodation not listed above\, or have questions about the physical access provided\, please contact Becky Stanko at rus1078@psu.edu or call 610-648-3236.
