We invite artists of all ages to create artwork representing plant or animal species. Works should be in black & white (grayscale) on a 6×6 inch (15x15cm) white paper. Collected works will be part of our installation “Impending Storms” scheduled to be exhibited in three prominent venues taking place from 2022 to 2023.
By involving many artists including school children* wishing to make drawings expressing animals and plants that are caught in the “fishnet” of human design, it is our wish that this message will be carried to wider audiences so our work can join global efforts to regain the health of our fragile biosphere. We offer this installation as an invitation to reflect on the losses our planet has suffered, what role we have had in this, and how we might work to improve the current path.
Please join us in creating artwork for the installation, Impending Storms. This installation is made possible through the generous support of the Art Happens Anywhere program sponsored by the City of Glendale, CA, Arts and Culture Commission and the Urban Art program. The project will be installed in the Glendale Central Library in march and April 2022. Additional installation exhibitions have been scheduled at Santa Paula Art Museum, Santa Paula, CA, in 2022 and Cedarburg Art Museum ( January 26 – May 14) and Alfons Gallery (pending) in Milwaukee, WI, in 2023.
The team of four artists, Hiroko Yoshimoto, Katherine Chang-Liu, Victoria Tasch, and W. Scott Miles under the collective name, Blue Marble Art Collective, created this installation project in order to disseminate our belief and that we may become a part of the global effort in the protection of our endangered biosphere. Through participating in this project, artists will gain the satisfaction of joining artists allover supporting this cause and of showing your work in these prominent art venues as well as on social media.
*Teachers, if you wish to incorporate this project in your lesson plans (K-12), please email victoriatasch@gmail,com and request samples of “Lesson Plan”.
