eARTh: An Ecological Art Show

Beginning April 13, 2010 Studio B will host its second annual ecological art exhibit, eARTh. This juried show, which saw a huge artist response in 2009, will officially open with a reception and awards presentation from 5-8:00 p.m. on Friday, April 16, 2010.

This is a show of works in all media employing any ecological connection. Anything one can interpret or find inspiration from relating to eARTh or within the realm of eco art is encouraged. Last year’s entries included mixed media collage, glass, fiber, watercolor, and photography.

“It’s a theme that reflects the current mindset of our generation,” said Gallery Director Susan Biebuyck. “It’s impossible for artists not to reflect the thoughts of their generation.”

Michele Byrne and Tara Grim will jury the show. Both women are well-known and admired for the nuance of their art and their skill in capturing the mood of a moment. Both take their inspiration from many environments and people all over the globe. They are committed to making their lives and their art inseparable.

The jurors will select four artists exhibiting Best Landscape, Best Air-scape, Best Water-scape, and Best Recycled Object. All will be considered first prize winners and will be awarded cash prizes.

Liberty Environmental, Inc., a environmental consulting and engineering firm based out of Reading, PA, and Prout’s Jollyview Farm in Oley, PA are proud sponsors of this event.

The show runs through May 17, 2010; the gallery will be open for Earth Day, April 22 from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. For pictures of last year's Terra Firma show, click here.
