Join the Sun Gallery on their 5th Annual Environmental Show, “#ClimateChange: An Unfolding Emergency,” this Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm in Hayward, California.
In an effort to put into visuals the sense of urgency surrounding the issue of climate change, over 20 artists have submitted work for this year’s show ranging from photos of the disappearing Arctic (and Iceland) to the human response to environmental degradation.
In the span of just one year since last year’s exhibit, there have been an unprecedented amount of climate related disasters including catastrophic flooding around the world, record hurricanes (Maria, Jose, Harvey and Irma) along with drought, record fires, mudslides and record cold conditions.
This year’s show has a very interactive twist with a multi-media presentation by Belgium artist Alexandre Dang with dancing solar flowers, to newly composed music about climate change by musician Marcel Peragine and his band.
The Artists Reception for the Sun Gallery #ClimateChange show is free, no registration required, and will include free appetizers, beverages and activities for children.
Performance artist Andrea Spearman, Founder/Choreographer of A. Spearman & Co., will be performing a special dance performance. Plus, Spearman will perform her live art on the Gallery’s stage in the courtyard during the reception.
Sun Gallery is a 501c3 non-profit located at 1015 E St. in Hayward, below Bret Harte Middle School. Hours are Friday- Sunday from 11-5 and admission is free. An encore debut of the show will be held at Hayward City Hall in the John O’Lague Galleria at 777 B St. in Hayward during the summer.
