ENVIRONMENTALLY ENGAGED: Artists reflect on issues and solutions for Florida A call-to-artists juried exhibition displaying recently completed (within three years) art of all media. It is NOT necessary that the artist lives or works in Florida in order to apply! ENVIRONMENTALLY ENGAGED is seeking artists who use their artwork for developing active strategies and conversations that foster positive change for the natural world. The art should approach environmental issues related directly to Florida’s ecosystems and the troubles facing this state. Examples of topics would be sea-level rise, endangered Florida species, habitat degradation and similar themes. The jurying process will select works that show not only the problems currently being faced, but also those that provide solutions. Art should be of the highest quality in craftsmanship and composition, emphasizing the theme as the main subject matter and should not resemble a school science project!
