About this Event
The ARTx3 Campus will host an opening reception for “Dialogues with Mother Earth: Drawing to Save the Planet,” an exhibition by artist Erica Daborn, from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22. This exhibition will be in the William H. Kennedy Jr. and International Paper galleries at The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, 701 S. Main St.
Daborn uses her art as a socially transformative tool to generate positive change by capturing the attention of the public via 13 large-scale charcoal-on-canvas murals. Each artwork opens a discussion about a series of critical issues facing the planet and our respective roles as participants in creating change. Issues like the culture of consumerism and waste, the food crisis, endangered species, and climate change are presented via scenes of ambiguous characters that blur race, culture, and borders.
The exhibition will be on view through Friday, Aug 16. It is sponsored by the Arkansas Humanities Council, National Endowment for the Humanities, Pine Bluff Advertising & Promotion Commission and the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas Endowment Fund.
