This Friday April 26th, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute inaugurates an interesting new juried exhibtion to bring attention to art and the natural environment:
"Reflections of the Latin American Natural Environment," a national juried exhibition of contemporary art, [will be on view] from April 22 to May 17 in its offices at 290 S. Hull St.
An artists' reception will be held April 26 from 4-6 p.m. in the UGA Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden behind Baldwin Hall on UGA's North Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition's focus—on painting, drawing, textile, sculpture and photography—is designed to help the public develop an appreciation for Latin America's wealth of biological diversity and its variety of land, water and cultural resources.
This work will be for sale, so drop by LACSI during business hours and see what you might be able to add to your collection, an unusual opportunity to view works we might not see in Athens or at UGA.
