Protect What You Love: Art as Advocacy
Opening Reception
April 19th, 2024 | 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Environmental Action Committee of West Marin Office | 65 Third Street, Suite 12 Point Reyes Station, CA 94956
Join us at our downtown Point Reyes Station office for the opening reception of the 'Protect What You Love: Art as Advocacy' art show to kick off the 15th Anniversary of the Point Reyes Birding & Nature Festival. The exhibit will be open for the entire festival and through until June 2024.
The show focuses on unique flora and fauna found in our area through various art styles and mixed media by local artists. Art as Advocacy is a long-standing platform that has brought awareness and promoted conservation around the globe. Artists use their unique perspectives to bring attention to the natural world, using art to express ideas of beauty, outrage, or both. By focusing our attention and evoking emotion, artists connect us to new ways of seeing and thinking about our world. In an age of climate change and biodiversity loss, this attention to every part of ecosystems - from largest to smallest - has never been more important.
Artists Include:
We will provide light refreshments. Festival attendees can RSVP through their registration, or if you are not attending the festival, contact our office to RSVP.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit our mission to protect and sustain the unique lands, waters, and biodiversity of West Marin through advocacy, education, and engagement programs.
