New Art Exhibit Explores Impacts of Climate Change
SEPTEMBER 14, 2022-- The Ann Foxworthy Gallery announced its latest exhibit, “TIPPING POINT”, a thought-provoking exploration of the impacts of climate change by six artists.
The show, which runs from Sept.19 through Oct. 25, features the work of Bay Hallowell, Cynthia Martin, RT Livingston, Tom Pazderka, Marlene Struss, and Susan Tibbles.
The mixed media work in the exhibition focuses on the existential threat of climate change and how it impacts the artist’s work. Each artist approaches the crisis from a different point of view, as they translate the issues of climate change into their own insightful and often satirical and humorous visual language.
“California is on the front lines of climate change. The sum of all its parts, in this timely show, tells a human-interest story,” said artist Cynthia Martin. “We see sea levels rising. We experience coastal erosion. All this in our own backyard.”
The gallery will host a special artist talk and reception on Sept. 14 from 4-6 p.m.
The Ann Foxworthy Gallery is located inside the Academic Resource Center, bldg. L on the Santa Maria campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Wednesday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Thursdays from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. To learn more about the exhibit, visit the gallery webpage at www.hancockcollege.edu/gallery.
