“Canvas and Clay: Crafting Natures Carbon Story Through Fungi”
2024-01-13 - 2024-02-04 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Atrium Gallery exhibit for January 2024. “Canvas and Clay: Crafting Natures Carbon Story Through Fungi” will be an exhibit of acrylic paintings and clay sculptures by children participating in This Is My Quest, Inc’s outdoor programs. This unique showcase blends the intricate beauty of fungi, a critical component in Earth’s carbon cycle, with the creative expressions of canvas and clay. Join us in appreciating nature’s unseen heroes through the eyes of our future conservationists and artists. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from January 13 through February 4. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 13th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments will be served at the reception, which is free and open to the public.
“Canvas and Clay” is more than an art exhibit; it’s a conversation starter about the importance of all elements of nature in the balance of our planet. This exhibit not only celebrates the artistic talents of our youth but also serves as an educational journey into the microscopic world of fungi and their impact on our environment. Through their art, TIMQ’s young artists explore the pivotal role of fungi in our ecosystems, highlighting their fascinating fruits, textures, and colors. Each piece tells a part of a carbon story, illustrating how these often-overlooked organisms contribute to carbon sequestration and soil health. Many of the items in this exhibit will be for sale. The proceeds of the sales will go back to TIMQ’s junior board to fund future projects for the children.
