Cause for Environmental Change

The Bonfoey Gallery

Join us for the opening of our exhibition, Cause for Environmental Change, on September 11th from 10am-7pm.

Art is reflective of the society in which it is created. As such, art can serve as a method of advocacy to raise awareness and contribute to conversations surrounding relevant societal issues. In this time of such colossal change, where society finds itself in a rather uncertain place, we must ask ourselves: are we playing our part in the efforts to combat environmental change? More specifically, how is the art world responding to such a relevant issue? We have seen a need to become more vocal and active about the preservation of our planet, so this exhibition will feature regional artists who are sustainably-minded in their works and lives.With the launch of our exhibition, Cause for Environmental Change, Bonfoey aims to comment on the looming question of what is happening to our world. As an advocate and promoter of art, we feel it is our responsibility to use our platform to encourage environmental change. Now, more than ever, society is conscious of the environmental issues plaguing our planet. People want to care and contribute, and whether that is through art or other means, we acknowledge our role as an avenue to do as such.Our exhibition, Cause for Environmental Change, will showcase the passionate and thoughtful works of Ron Barron, Christopher Burk, Susan Danko, Lauralee Hutson, Deb Lawrence, Erik Neff, Ardine Nelson, Jenniffer Omaitz, Diane Pinchot, Carmen Romine, Lisa Schonberg, Susan Squires, and Barbara Stanczak. These artists are using their work to speak about their perspectives on various environmental issues. The utilization of recycled materials and representations of nature serve as a sort of call to action for viewers to recognize the significance of matters such as climate change, global warming, and the growing environmental footprint. Visit the gallery to learn more about how they are making sustainable choices in their artistic practices and lifestyles.Cause for Environmental Change will open on September 11th from 10:00am-7:00 pm.
