Eco-Art Blue Plant Exhibition
 SOMArts Cultural Center, San Francisco
June 19-26, 2010
 
Eco-art often carries a layered meaning that aids in the understanding and appreciation of the environment, addresses community values, and/or inspires activism on behalf of the ecological systems of which humans and their cultures are a part. For the Blue Planet Exhibition, work that examines and explores the social, political and economic issues related to water will be exhibited. Given that water covers 70% of our “Blue Planet, this exhibition is an opportunity to re-envision, reclaim, remediate and restore our relationships with this most precious resource.


ORGANIZED/PRESENTED BY: Women’s Caucus for Art-Pacific Region 
JUROR: Eco-Artist Kim Abeles
EXHIBITION DATES: June 19 – June 26, 2010
LOCATION: SOMArts Cultural Center 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco 
RECEPTION: Saturday, June 26, 2010, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.


We were pleased to receive 270 submissions in a broad range of media from 117 artists throughout the United States. It was a time-consuming and difficult task for the juror, Kim Abeles, to evaluate submissions for this show. In the end, she selected a range of pieces from 50 artists that spoke of our precious element, water, and eco-art activism.
