Five distinguished panelists will discuss climate change. Organized by artist Laura Petrovich-Cheney and featuring artist Diane Burko as moderator. The catalyst for the discussion is the Noyes Museum’s exhibition Frozen Earth: Images from the Arctic Circle.
Featuring the works of several artists from a fall 2013 Arctic Circle expedition, Frozen Earth offers a glimpse into how the changing environment of the northern extremes of our planet inspired artists to explore central issues of our time. The intent is to expand the dialogue on climate change and to create impactful conversations that not only include the art community, but the science and literary communities as well.
