Ripple & Roar: The Wonder of Water

View Center for Arts & Culture in Old Forge, NY seeks works of art in all media exploring the theme of water. Water, the essential resource of life, faces a variety of challenges including but not limited to climate change, pollution, invasive species, and development. The exhibition seeks works that celebrate the ethereal beauty of water, explore its inspirational qualities, reflect its many changing moods, and underscore our critical relationship with it. Works of art might consider water from a global point of view, a regional perspective, a cultural perspective, or with a specific focus on the Adirondacks.
