Columbus Cultural Arts Center Announces The Earth is US Exhibit and Events
COLUMBUS – The Columbus Cultural Arts Center (CAC) is proud to announce its newest exhibit, titled “The Earth Is US: Forging a New Relationship.”
Exhibitions:
The Earth is US: Forging a New Relationship
Sept. 16-Oct. 29; Main Gallery
In our modern, engineered lives, we have lost touch with the rhythms of the natural world, which keep us alive. Participating artists draw from the wisdom of both ancient peoples and modern science to bring about a deeper understanding of the importance of environmental stewardship. Through art and science, this exhibition seeks to show how what happens within the ground beneath our feet, in the water we drink and in the air we breathe, is mirrored within our own bodies. There can be no deeper connection. A healthy planet is essential for our own health and well-being. This exhibit is curated by Char Norman.
