YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED: July 15th - August 12th Please join us tonight, I will be there, Friday, July 15th from 6-9 PM for the opening of Our Diminishing Great Salt Lake: Exploring the potential of art in the fight against climate change and offering an impetus to the public to exercise their own influence. I will be there in person and am honored to be included in this group show. Our changing ecosystem has presented a major challenge for those living along the Wasatch Front - our Great Salt Lake is drying up! In a recent New York Times front page article, climate change reporter Christopher Flavelle cited a disturbing fact about our lake: “The air surrounding Salt Lake City [may] occasionally turn poisonous. The lake bed contains high levels of arsenic and as more of it becomes exposed, wind storms could carry that arsenic into the lungs of nearby residents,” thereby directly and immediately affecting the health of our community. We see and feel nature’s wrath by way of catastrophic fires, flooding, severe storms, and droughts. Human-produced greenhouse gases have caused much of the increase in Earth's temperatures over the past 50 years. We feel helpless in the face of our rapidly changing world and would like to take action in whatever form possible. For this exhibit, several of our artists created work communicating their concerns pertaining specifically to diminishing water resources and the Great Salt Lake.
