Art For A Living Earth ( 7:00 pm )

Have you ever wondered what our community could be like in the future if everyone worked on reducing their ecological footprint?  Can you imagine how our community might be different from how it is now? What kind of artwork would artists produce if they re-used materials that most people throw in the garbage once the material’s original purpose has been met?  Or what would artwork look like if artists restricted themselves to all-natural materials?  These are the questions that have been posed to members of the Truro Art Society, and they have been challenged to create artwork that answers those questions.

 

The results of their labours can be viewed at a group show called “Art for a Living Earth”.  It will be on display at the McCarthy Gallery, 36 Arthur Street, from Thursday February 2^nd through Tuesday March 27^th.  The opening of the show will take place on Tuesday February 7^th at 7 PM.  Everyone is welcome.
